Hi!
Your message:
I have a measure in 2/2 time which I have four quarter notes. Below it I
want to have lyrics where one word is sung in two parts in this measure.
So the notes and lyrics go in a pseudo code fashion would be:
a b c d
si -- lience
The notes 'a' and 'b' are paired with 'si--' where 'c' and 'd' are
paired with 'lience'. So far I have the lyrics for this song as:
%---------------------------
% Lyrics
%---------------------------
words = \lyricmode { Let all mor -- tal | flesh keep | si -- lence, |
and with fear and }
I get an error message about my lyrics mode line because I believe its
expecting four words or syllables for measure #3. How do I tell lilypond
to be please let 'si' be one count in 2/2 time and 'lience' be for one
count?

Which version are you using? I have that song completely entered, and
working just fine if you like. Just email me, and I'll send it to you.
My version is 2.7.20
Also, to make a syllable cover two notes, the easiest way is to put a slur
over the notes, thus:
notes
{a b c( d) }
lyrics
{ One two three }
Will match just fine.
Also, using an _ in the lyrics will do the same thing for un-slurred
notes.
Blessings,
Fr. Gordon Gilbert
