Only by assigning it to the voice with the extension note(s):
\version "2.16"
\paper { ragged-right = ##f }
sopMusic = {
c'4 d' e' f'
g'1
}
altMusic = {
c'4 b c' d'
f'2( e')
}
saMusic = {
<<
\context Voice = "soprano" { \voiceOne \sopMusic }
\\
\context Voice = "alto" { \voiceTwo \altMusic }
>> \oneVoice
}
someWords = \lyricmode {
Set the lyr -- ics thus! __
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \saMusic
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \someWords
>>
}
otherWords = \lyricmode {
\set associatedVoice = "soprano"
Set the lyr -- \set associatedVoice = "alto" ics
\once \override LyricText #'X-offset = #-2
thus! __
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \saMusic
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \otherWords
>>
}
Two observations:
1. The “\set associatedVoice” needs to before the syllable PRIOR to the one you
actually want to “switch” to the new voice — one of my least favourite things
in Lilypond.
2. The X-offset tweak is to avoid the weird shift of the text (to match the
shift of the note in that voice), and thus may not be necessary in your
situation — comment it out to see the default output.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
