Try something like << \new Staff { c' c' c' c' \new Voice = "singleLyrics" { c' c' c' c' } \new Voice = "doubleLyrics" { d' d' d' d' } c' c' c' c' } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "singleLyrics" \lyricmode { sin sin sin sin } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "doubleLyrics" \lyricmode { one one one one } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "doubleLyrics" \lyricmode { two two two two } >> -- Francisco Vila.
