Hi Michael,

For untied notes (like single whole notes), the convention is not to have
extenders.
If you want to break with convention, I suggest using a separate voice to
control extenders, e.g.:
{
<<
\new Staff <<
{ c''1 2. 2. 1. }
\new NullVoice = "extenders" { c''8( 8 8 8 8 8 8 8) c8( 8 8 8 8 8) }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "extenders" { bla __ bla __ bla __ bla __ }
>>
\new Staff { c''8( c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'') c''8( c'' c'' c'' c'' c'') }
\addlyrics { bla __ bla __ bla __ bla __ }
>>
}
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
