I’m using `\hideNotes` so that multiple similar verses can be lined up beneath one another:
Melody with four beats here Four syl — la — bles Five syl — la — bil — lies The code: melody = \relative c'' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 3/4 << \new Voice = "chorus" { \voiceOne d4 c4. b8~ | b4 c2 | } \new Voice = "hidden" { \voiceTwo \hideNotes { d4 c4. b8~ | b4 g4 c4 | } } >> } chorus = \lyricmode { \set stanza = #"1. " Cho -- ir choir __ } wordsTwo = \lyricmode { \set associatedVoice = "hidden" \set stanza = #"2. " Cho -- ir sing -- ing it. } \score { << \new Staff { \new Voice = "main" { \melody } } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "chorus" \chorus \new Lyrics \lyricsto "hidden" \wordsTwo >> The melody is hidden but ties and slurs are quite visible. I think that making objects transparent is going to be the solution, but am not sure what objects I’m looking for: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/visibility-of-objects#making-objects-transparent <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/visibility-of-objects#making-objects-transparent> Is it something like this `\override NoteHead.transparent = ##t`?
