Here's one example of a solution, which contains one score with and one without the melody. Note that when you explicitly specify the duration of each lyrics syllable, then for melismas it should be the total duration of the melisma (which also specifies the duration of the -- ). As far as I know, the associatedVoice property only works when you actually have a Voice context in your score, so there's no use to set it in the second score. Also, note that the value should be the name of the Voice context, nothing else.

I'm sure this is possible, and that I just haven't figured it out yet. I would like to be able to have two output formats, one with the staff and one without. Some guitar players find the notes distracting, and only want to see the chords and words to a song (for example, my brother). I've been unable to get the chords and words to line up properly without the staff, however. The examples here (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/The-Lyrics-context.html) gave me an idea, to put durations after the words, but the text would not line up properly.
If you'd like to look at the code to my attempts, I have attached the files. The first file, 'test.ly', is nearly a copy of the first measure-and-a-half of the original. The next two are attempts to get the chords to line up without the notes. The staff still appears, probably because of the 'Voice' context, but below it are the chords and words, not lining up as I would like them to. 'test2.ly' is the closest I was able to come, but it wouldn't let me put a hyphen between 'le' and 'lu', nor a duration for the hyphen after 'lu'. Any help on this would be appreciated!
