Here is another way (especially if one uses Frescobaldi and its Score
Wizard to create the score structure:
%% CODE %%
\version "2.19"
\language "english"
soprano = {
a'2.
<<
{
f'4( ~ |
f'4. g'8 a'4 f' ~ |
}
\new Staff = "Solo" \with { alignAboveContext = #"sopranos" }
{
\partial 4 \key f \major a'4^"Solo" \bar "||"
a'4. bf'8 c''4 a' |
}
\addlyrics \with { alignBelowContext = #"Solo" } {
Yet what I can I give Him,
Give my heart.
}
>>
\bar "|."
}
verseSopranoVoice = \lyricmode {
% Lyrics follow here.
heart. Ooh __
}
sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff = "sopranos" \with {
} { \soprano }
\addlyrics { \verseSopranoVoice }
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\sopranoVoicePart
>>
\layout { }
}
%%CODE%%
