Of course it's possible, you are using LilyPond, right? :-)
(Graham, below you find something that might be useful to include in the manual.)
Seriously, as long as the repeated section appears at the top of the piece, it's very easy, just add a new line of lyrics, as in the following example:
\version "2.4.0"
\score{ <<
\relative c' {\repeat volta 2 {c4 d e f | g1 | } a2 b | c1}
\addlyrics{do re mi fa sol la si do }
\addlyrics{dodo rere mimi fafa solsol }
>>
}If the repeated section appears in the middle of a piece, you have to play some more tricks to be able to use the \lyricsto feature, namely to use a separate Voice context for the repeated part. This is illustrated in the following example:
\version "2.4.0"
\score{ <<
\context Voice = melody \relative c' {
% Intro:
c2 e | g e | c1 |
% Repeated verse:
\context Voice = verse \repeat volta 2 {c4 d e f | g1 | }
% Ending:
a2 b | c1}
\lyricsto melody \context Lyrics = mainlyrics \lyricmode {
% Intro:
do mi sol mi do
% Ending:
la si do }
% First repeat of the verse:
\lyricsto verse \context Lyrics = mainlyrics \lyricmode {
do re mi fa sol }
% Second repeat of the verse:
\lyricsto verse \context Lyrics = repeatlyrics \lyricmode {
dodo rere mimi fafa solsol }
>>
}Always tell what version of LilyPond you use, when sending a question to the mailing list, otherwise you may get an answer that's not relevant to your version. I assume that you use the latest stable version, 2.4.x.

Hello all,
I'm a 4 hours newby. Great application (but I must say that the syntax could have been much more user friendly - personal opinion, no flaming).
Ok, I'm trying my frist score... I have schematically something like: repeat_volta_twice(do re mi fa sol) la si do
And I would like a lyric like "do re mi fa sol dodo rere mimi fafa solso la si do"
note: do re mi fa sol :| la si do lyrics: do re mi fa sol :| la si do dodo rere mimi fafa solsol
I just don't know if this is possible... if yes, how can I do such a thing? I can't find that in documentation.
Best regards.
