Don't use the << ... \\ ... >> construct; it creates two new voices, neither of which your lyrics will follow. You can, however, do this: tenornotes = \relative c' { \clef "G_8" r1 | r4 << { \voiceOne c4^\markup { div. } c \oneVoice } \new Voice { \voiceTwo c8 b a4 } >> r | r2^\markup { unis. } a2\fermata | a4( g fis8 f) e( b') | a1 | } That is, you introduce a parallel section (with no \\), keep the original voice in one branch, and create a new voice for the other branch.
