If you need it only occasional a more tricky suggestion below, with the advantage not to loose the automatic assigning of syllables to notes: \version "2.19.36" { c''2 << r \context Lyrics = "" \lyricmode { foo2 } >> d''1 } \addlyrics { bla bla } Although, it's recommended to use explicit Lyrics-context for all but simplest use-cases, leading to: << \new Staff \new Voice = "mel" { c''2 << r \context Lyrics = "lyr" \lyricmode { foo2 } >> d''1 } \new Lyrics = "lyr" \lyricsto "mel" { bla bla } >> Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
