Hello,

I am new to choir music and find some new challenges, at least for me. I have a volta repeat where the melody is repeated, but with different lyrics. What is the best way to tell Lilypond to use more syllables for the repeat?

The text in the repeat should be:

1. Nun  |: will der  Lenz uns grüß  - en, von Mit - tag weht es (¹ lau. Aus ) :|
           al - len  Ek - ken sprie - ßen die Blu - men rot und

2. Wald |: vög - lein Lie - der sin - gen, wie ihr sie nur be - (¹ gehrt. Drum ) :|
           auf,  zum  fro - hen ...

I hope, this example is minimal as possible, but sufficient to reproduce:

\version "2.25.33"
\language "deutsch"


soprano = \relative c' {
  \key g \major  \partial 4  \autoBeamOff
  d4
  \repeat volta 2 {
      g a h h | a4.( g8) fis4 d | e8[ fis] g4 4 fis
  }
  \alternative {
    { g2 r4 d  }
    { g2 r4 h8[ c] }
  }
  d4. e8 d4 c | h2 4 a | h c d c8[ h]
}

verseOne = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "1."
  Nun will der Lenz uns grü -- ßen, von Mit -- tag weht es lau. Aus
  al -- len Ek -- ken spri -- ßen die Blu -- men rot und
  blau.
}

verseTwo = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "2."
  Wald -- vög -- lein Lie -- der sin -- gen, wie ihr sie nur be -- gehrt. Drum
  auf, zum fro -- hen Sprin -- gen, die Reis is Gol -- des
  wert.
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \new Voice = "soprano" { \voiceOne \soprano }
    \new Lyrics\lyricsto "soprano" \verseOne
    \new Lyrics\lyricsto "soprano" \verseTwo
  >>
}

Best Regards
Helge
