This looks like a bug to me. I can't find any workaround for v2.19.
With v2.18, not nice but works:
\version "2.18.2"
\paper {
left-margin = 5\mm
right-margin = 5\mm
ragged-right = ##t
}
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
}
theLyrics = \lyricmode {
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\once \override LyricText.X-extent = #'(0 . 72)
Rest_eternal_grant_unto_them,_O_Lord,_and_let_light_perpetual
shine on
}
notes = \relative c'' {
\time 1/1
a1
\once\override Staff.BarLine.extra-offset = #'(5 . 0)
\time 2/8
a8[( c]) \break
\time 1/4
a4
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff
\new Voice = "one" \notes
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \theLyrics
>>
}
Cheers,
Pierre
