Formatting lyrics separately for two voices in a staff

• Sep 28, 2017 - 15:39

For chorus notation often 2 voices appear in one staff. And rather often the text is different for the 2 voices, so that the text for the top-most voice is written above the staff.
One possible solution is to abuse the odd/even formatting for lyrics text (which I never found a real good reason to use under normal condition).
Unfortunately, by default the first line is always formatted as "odd", even if I start entering a lyrics line, format as "even" and continue entering lyrics: the next syllable is formatted as odd again.
Ideal solution would be to allow to select the lyrics text format for each voice seperately.

This will be possible in the next major version with ease, where there is an above and below property for texts.
In 2.x it is possible too, but requires some work, like having different offsets for odd and even lyrics lines or just manually moving the voice one lyrics to above the staff, also that line still reserves space below the staff rather than above, this also needs to get catered for
