A small example file would make it easier to understand exactly what you mean. The easiest solution for your is probably to use \addlyrics to automatically align the lyrics to your music. If you really want to specify the duration manually for each syllable, I have attached a small example that hopefully solves your question.

Dear All,
I have a question about Lyrics mode in 1.6.8. I have a pickup bar contain a triplet of eighth notes in 3/4 time and want to place a syllable at the beginning of the triplet with an extender to the first syllable starting at the first note on the second bar. The only way I am able to get Lilypond to accept anything that approximates what I want is using " " " " My4 as the first bar of the lyric which places the syllable on the last beat of the triplet. _2 My4 causes Lilypond to complain. I have tried, as far as I understand it, redundantly adding partial and time signatures to the Lyrics thread but to no avail. I have also tried just the syllable on its own but this too fails a bar check. Does anyone know to do this ?
Regards,
Nigel.
