Thank you very much for the example. I compiled it, but the output
doesn't look too appealing to me.
But you gave me the idea how to do it with two voices. For the visual
part I decided to use something like the following:
<<
{
<g es'>2.~ |
<g es'>2. |
}
{
s2. |
s2 \parenthesize f4 |
}
>>
That is: misuse parallel voices, use as much skip as necessary and add
a note inside parenthesis. There is no need for an explicit
explanation of when that additional note is needed. If the lyrics
stands below the scores, it's clear which one needs an additional
syllable.
