Tim,
Slight amendation of Mark's suggestion. Since you're doing a vocal
composition, to keep lyrics applied into this temporary poloyphonic
context, use this syntax:
<< { \voiceOne } \\
\new Voice { \voiceTwo { } }
>> \oneVoice
Lyrics set to the voice will carry into the temporary polyphonic context {
\voiceOne } and then should continue after the \oneVoice. But note that use
of slurs will break the lyrics placement so you may need to include \skip1
in your lyrics to shift the lyric syllables to the proper note location.
Regards,
Guy Stalnaker
