Abraham, I make a lot of lead sheets, and I do the following:
%%% \version "2.19" \layout { \override LyricText #'font-size = #2 } Chords = \chordmode { c2 e2:m } Music = \relative c' { c4 d4 e4 f4 } Lyrics = \lyricmode { Do re me fa } << \new ChordNames { \Chords } \new Staff << \new Voice = "Verse" { \Music } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Verse" { \Lyrics } >> >> %%% You can add multiple lyrics to the same music -- for multiple verses. And when there are slight rhythmic variation that you don't want to notate, you can use \new NullVoice to add a hidden voice to an existing staff, as shown below. %%% << \new Staff << \new Voice = "VerseA" { \MusicA } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "VerseA" { \LyricsA } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "VerseA" { \LyricsB } \new NullVoice = "VerseC" { \MusicC } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "VerseC" { \LyricsC } >> >> %%% Best Regards, Gregory Hollands
