One possibility is
\lyricmode{ ... \markup{\column{\line{ The first line would go like this }
\line{and the second would continue here }}} and then the rest of the
line }
however, then the lyrics after the multi-line section will continue on the
top line, not the bottom line as you had sketched below. One workaround
for that could be to use \override LyricText #'extra-offset = ... to move it
down.

I'm trying to set some music with _extremely_ long sets of words
attached to one reciting tone. Lilypond sees that, freaks, and sets
one measure per line, which doesn't look at all good. (2.9.27, OSX.)
I'm looking for a way to set up something like this in the lyrics:
"The first line would go like this
and the second would continue here and then the rest of the line"
I could do it by creating a dummy second verse with words only in that
one particular spot, but that doesn't sound like fun and would require
manual editing of the files after I run them through m4. Is there an
easier way?
Thanks,
Geoff
