I tried modifying this example from the manual:
voice = {
c''2
\tag #'music { c''2 }
\tag #'lyricrhythm { c''4. c''8 }
d''1
}
lyr = \lyricmode { I like my cat! }
<<
\new Staff \keepWithTag #'music \voice
\new Devnull="nowhere" \keepWithTag #'lyricrhythm \voice
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "nowhere" \lyr
\new Staff { c'8 c' c' c' c' c' c' c'
c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' }
>>
I changed the d''1 to an r1, but the word cat does not print at all. If I
add another note after the rest, the word cat appears under that note.
