create combined part with only lyrics from second stave
I'd like to create a combined part from two staves (voice and guitar), but from voice I would like to get only the lyrics.
Background info: The guitar player needs a hint, where the lyrics go, to be able to follow with the correct chords (the guitar plays broken chords all-over).

Add the lyrics to both staves, make them invisible in one staff of the main score

This was my first idea... but: as the guitar plays broken chords, the rhythm is completely different to the melody. So a "simple" copy-and-paste does not do it. I would need to copy the lyrics syllable by syllable ...
The score that I used is this one: https://musescore.com/endi/scarborough_fair_canticle

add the notes and lyrics as voice 3/4 and make these invisble and silent?

What do you mean with "make these invisible"?
The stave properties allow to remove the notation lines etc, but at least the notes still remain.
Or maybe I don't see the right flag...?

Use the selection filter to select voice 3 and 4 (and these only), select all (Ctrl+A), then in Inspector make invisible (or press V)

Ok, this works. A bit tricky (finally I don't get removed the arcs... but no problem).
Disadvantage that remains: a big gap between the lines. But better than nothing!
Do you think that for the future this demand could be of interest for other people - so that some day an internal function/flag would support this?

Not sure how this shpuld work. Lyrics attach to notes, if there are no notes, no lyrics syllable can attach
Well, there's some limited support for lyrics on rests too, but even that doesn't help much here, if there isn't a note or rest at the spot, due to different rhythm

Maybe just an extension of the already existing flag concerning the visibility of the main elements of a stave:
- display notation
- display chords
- display lyrics
Display chords may also be interesting in some cases (up to now I often copy the chords to the stave of interest, e.g. I want to have the voice stave together with the chords that are notated in the piano stave)
