Jakob,
You can trick lilypond into extending the extender to (almost) end-of-measure
by adding a (hidden) extra note towards the end of the measure. Using
\scaleDurations you make that the total length of the shown+hidden music still
fit within the measure.
You’ll need to add the additional extender in the lyrics as well, as the hidden
note is still accounted for in the note-to-lyric binding:
\version "2.25.12"
global = {
\key d \major
\time 2/2
}
BarOn = { \set Staff.measureBarType = "-span|" }
BarOff = { \set Staff.measureBarType = "|" }
\score { <<
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \relative c' { \global \BarOn \scaleDurations 2047/2048 b'\breve
\hide \scaleDurations 1/2048 b\breve \BarOff cis1 | b }
\addlyrics { O __ _ sa -- crum, }
\new Staff \relative c' { \global \BarOn e2 g2. fis8 e \BarOff fis4
\scaleDurations 255/256 g \hide \scaleDurations 1/1024 g1 | a1 g }
\addlyrics { O __ _ _ _ _ _ _ sa -- crum, }
\new Staff \relative c' { \global \clef "treble_8" \BarOn b2 e2. d8 \BarOff
cis \scaleDurations 511/512 d2 \hide \scaleDurations 1/1024 d1 | e1 e }
\addlyrics { O __ _ _ _ _ _ sa -- crum, }
\new Staff \relative c { \global \clef bass e1 \scaleDurations 1023/1024
b' \hide \scaleDurations 1/1024 b | a e }
\addlyrics { O __ _ _ sa -- crum, }
