Well, I'm seeing two things: 1) there is no ending to the decrescendo,
so it throws a warning, and 2) the tie from the first e'1 to the
second won't work, because the second is in a different voice. I
don't know exactly what you want to do with the decrescendo, but I'd
put it in a separate Dynamics voice, like this:
%%%
\version "2.20.0"
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "music" {
e'1 ~ | e'1 | d'1 ~ | d'1
}
\new Dynamics {
s1 | s2 s \> | s s\! | s1
}
\new Lyrics \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup.
nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #2
\override VerticalAxisGroup.
nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.padding = #2
}
\lyricsto "music" { Hel -- lo }
>>
%%%
