It looks to me as if both your \addlyrics are adding the lyrics to a Voice, whereas Malte's example (and thanks for the MWE!) looks as if \addlyrics applies to the Staff. I played around with the latter when I read here that it could be done. It seems as if it might be an alternative to NullVoice, where you have to make an alignment voice by breaking up long notes in one part so you can match the rhythm in another. With this Staff method, you don't have to touch the music, but you have to write a lyric syllable to match every note-start in every part, and that holds for melismas too, else it would defeat the whole object of the new construction. I think the last bar of this MWE gives you the idea. Sorry I haven't got a melismatic example handy, but I see the feature as more useful for hymns (pace Bruckner) because all the best ones are full of these rhythmic differences. I set counterpoint on separate staves, like most people. AIUI all 2.18.2 did iin Malte's MWE is to \addlyrics to the last Voice it saw, not to the Staff, because the feature didn't exist. Cheers, David.
