I figured that something like this.... http://www.lilybin.com/hjtorv/2 would solve the problem, but I wanted to avoid that. Because these are part of the same part I wanted to keep the notes in measure two near each other in the source. I generally like to write one measure per line in my source file, which is why the \\ notation is so handy. If I use two voices where one voice has many measures of {s}, then the notes that share a single measure are going to be very far away from each other in the source file. Is there some sort of compromise I can use? Is there a way to make the lyrics work properly, but keep the source for measure two in close proximity to itself? The linked snippet has an obvious stemming issue, but let's not worry about that for now. - Hayden
