I had to think a while what you mean by NR, but I think it's Note 
Reference?

There I could not find the "Polyphony with shared lyrics" you mention 
(using the 2.22.1 version of the documentation).

I use Frescobaldi for coding, and then your example does not fit there, 
I think. In any case, the solution of Guy presented above works fine for 
me, so for now I'm fine.

Thanks!
