I agree. For symmetry I should use lyricmode and lyricsto, but this forces to give a name to the voice and the code becomes much longer. Once coded this way, durations of syllables are no longer necessary. I find there is not an elegant way of adding lyrics correctly besides \addlyrics. Maybe a default mapping of lyrics with the nearest voice could substitute lyricsto and get the syllables centered, I don't know. << \chords { c2 c f2 c } \new Staff = "twinkle" \relative c' { \time 2/4 c4 c g'4 g a4 a g2 } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "twinkle" \lyricmode { twin -- kle twin -- kle lit -- tle star } >> -- Francisco Vila.
