You shouldn't worry too much about this; it's a technical limitation of the way lyrics are processed, which also affects the property associatedVoice (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/stanzas#Stanzas-with-different-rhythms). It's fine as long as you document it as a known issue. > Here, the "foo" does not get put under the "cis8" grace note, but under > "d2". If one uncomments "c2" and "x", then the syllable assignment is > as expected ("x" under "c2", "foo" under "cis8"). A \with { } or \context { } block would be a suitable workaround in this case. Now that I've had chance to test the patch a bit more, there's one more serious issue which needs fixing: melismata on graces end prematurely when followed directly by another lyric. << \new Voice = melody \relative c' { \grace { c16[( d e f] } g1) f } \new Lyrics \with { includeGraceNotes = ##t } \lyricsto melody { Ah __ fa } >> The automatic melisma (from the slur) should continue to the note following the graces, but ends too early.
