I had a similar problem when managing different spread of text in
different stanzas of a song. Maybe the following solution (which does
not produce the correct midi-output!) is appropriate for you? - for me
it looks like a bit of cheating, but it seems to work.
\version "2.19.22"
verseOne = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1." This is the first al -- ter
-- na -- tive }
verseTwo = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2." And this is the se -- cond one }
melodyOne = \relative c'' {
c4 d e f
f e d c
}
melodyTwo = \relative c'' {
%make voice effectively invisible
\override Slur.transparent = ##t
\override Stem.transparent = ##t
\override Dots.transparent = ##t
\override Beam.transparent = ##t
\override NoteHead.transparent = ##t
\voiceTwo
r4 d e f
f e d c
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "first" { \repeat volta 2 { \melodyOne } }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "first" { \verseOne }
\new Voice = "second" { \voiceTwo \melodyTwo }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "second" { \verseTwo }
>>
}
Instead of manually overriding the visibility of the notes you can use
\hideNotes after the rest in verseTwo, too.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
