I'm struggling to align some lyrics and the problem seems to be that I
cannot find any way to align syllables to rests. In the following MWE,
I want to align the word 'but' with the r4. It seems only to be willing
to align with either the prior note or the succeeding note (prior note

Do you want to attach the syllable(s) to the rest(s), or simply nudge the
syllable left a little (e.g., to relax the lyric spacing that follows)?
If the latter, th
Aloha.
I need to attach the word to the rest so the rest of the lyrics align
properly. I don't think shifting it will do the job (although I'll try it).

Right. (Certainly it would be *VERY* unusual to actually attach a lyric to a
rest!)

Just to clarify: I gave you an adjusted snippet
Hi Kieren.

Mahalo.
That sounds reasonable and very much appreciated. What I did was
replace the rest with the succeeding note on essentially the same
logic. However, I like your solution.

I don’t know of a single one. A rest is literally musical silence — how can it
have a “vocal” on it? Now, of course, you could have non-sung syllables… but
that is not equival
Aloha K.
Here's the one I've been working on. Maybe it's just wrong. I agree
with your logic and defer to you as I know little about these
conventions at this point.
Also, I said on r4 but it's actually on r8.

That worked in terms of alignment. I still wonder if it's written
incorrectly. Seems like there should be notes on the 'but' and 'and'
when I listen to the recording. Not sure.

It’s a kind of shorthand. As Kieren said, y
Mahalo to all of you for injecting.
Love this stuff and just intrigued by the variety of expressions.
Remarkable that this has been built (i.e. Lilypond) as well as this
community.

Good morning,
I think the original is possible only because the lyrics are different.
If you want to write the melody with the lyrics to the second stanza
only, it would make no sense to have lyrics corresponding to a rest.
A version with the second stanza text only could look like this:

Aloha John,

At the very least, it’s lazy and unclear engraving.
The convention in a case like this is something closer to the following:
\version "2.25.10"
global = {
\time 4/4
\key b \major
\tempo 4=80
}
mel = \relative c'
Mahalo. Appreciate the advice.
