Hello,
I have a piece with two verses in a repeat. The second time

there is a slight alteration in one of the measures which
adds
additional notes. I've been able to accomplish this using a
temporary
voice, but I'm not sure if this is the best way as the words "ma -
mo
mu" end up shifted down another line. Here is the smallest section
that
I could provide, but I wonder if I can align the text better?

Each new Lyrics context will appear on its own line. This is sometimes
desirable, but if you need to keep lyrics on the same line, they will
have to share the same Lyrics context.
Probably the easiest the option is to \set associatedVoice to
temporarily align your lyrics to the alternate notes. The important
quirk of associatedVoice is that you must make the change a syllable
ahead of when you need it:

\new Voice = melody \relative {

\once \voiceOne e2
\new Voice = alt \magnifyMusic #0.618 {
\voiceTwo
e8 f e4
}
>>
| g1
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto melody { a i u o }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto melody {
% a i u e u o
% ↑ │ ↑ │ We switch voices one syllable earlier.
% └─┘ └─┘
a \set associatedVoice = alt
i u e \unset associatedVoice
u o
}
