Dear List,
I have a song with two verses. The lyrics to the second stanza
occasionally have an extra syllable, such that there is a rest on that beat
in the first verse but a note in the second verse. I'm trying to address
this using the code found in notation manual (v. 2.18.2) in Section 2.1.3
Thanks, Nathan, that works.

Basically, what I want is "\StaffOff ...text... \StaffOn".
Something like this? The values for offset and makegap have to be
fiddled with to get proper alignment for the text you use.

This is just my understanding, but I believe LilyPond is intended to be a

Peter,
I like Trevor's suggestions. I'd also recommend the following:
1. In the first verse lyrics, change " " to "" (i.e., remove the space).
This makes One line up better with the notehead. You can also do "\skip 4"
instead. For some reason, in 2.18.2, using " " creates a manual melisma,

Hi Urs,
It was inspired mostly by Carl’s post and working on Jianpu notation. A
tutorial on this is not a bad idea. That said:
(1) it would benefit from fitting into, or coming after, a broader overview of
LilyPond like Carl has written
(2) it sounds like the way we create scheme engravers
