Replace the \skip 4 with "", as in:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.25.0" { c' (d') e' f' } \addlyrics { foo __ "" bar } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Paul From: Michael Käppler via bug-lilypond <bug-lilypond@gnu.org> Hi all, please consider the following example: \version "2.25.0" { c' (d') e' f' } \addlyrics { foo __ \skip 4 bar } The \skip command does not terminate the extender line. This is at least unexpected. Opinions? Michael
