I tried this (and a couple of variations on the theme) and,
unfortunately, nothing I did seemed to make any difference at all
:(. When you say "... tell it which notes go with which lyrics", does
that mean I have to put explicit durations with the lyrics (as I'm
currently doing) or explicit \melisma and \melismaEnd with the notes
(I tried this, and this didn't seem to help either...)? Or something
else?
