Thanks for all the suggestions. There are a couple of good ones there,
and a couple of puzzles (I've been thinking about the different stanza
thing too.) But they need some thought before they can be
implemented. I'll get back to you

You are quite right; the durations with \addlyrics are arbitrary. We
could use that information for special purposes.

melismata.
