- If you include a number of words within double quotes or use underscores to indicate spaces, LilyPond will handle the full phrase as a single syllable. Example: "A long phrase treated as a single syllable" A_long_phrase_treated_as_a_single_syllable
- If you don't use \addlyrics or \lyricsto, you can explicitly specify the duration of each syllable, so you can for example specify a new syllable for each sixteenth note, even if the music only has quarter notes. Example:
\score{
<<
\new Staff \notes\relative c'{ c4 d e}
\new Lyrics \lyrics{ Group16 of four words }
>>

Hello,
I've been looking through the lyric documentation, but I can't seem to find what I have in mind.
How can I stick several words or phrases under the same note? I'm looking to write unmetered chant. I don't need much in the way of ancient symbols, but it will look kind of silly if I have to have an 8th for every syllable or some such (and that isn't going to make any sense for multiple verses).
I'd be grateful for any help.
Thanks! Jean
