Sometimes a song has slightly different rhythms in different verses,
as in the (wonky) scan below
Is there a neat way of setting such songs? All the ways that I can
think of are somewhat of a faff.
What part are you finding difficult? What have you tried?
Aligning the lyrics to the music. Just formatting the music is easy.
Splitting both tune and lyrics into chunks and aligning each chunk
separately quickly becomes tedious.
To make two voices, use << { } \\ { } >>
To get a smaller notehead, try \magnifyMusic #2/3 { "note here" }
To keep the smaller notehead from merging with the larger, I'd try
putting a very short spacer grace note in front of the smaller note,
like \grace { s1024 }
