And auto-length lyrics.  If you give the lyric syllables explicit
durations and not use \lyricsto/\addlyrics but just set associatedVoice
and \lyricmode appropriately, you can write bar checks into the lyrics
perfectly well.  Note that bar checks indicate that your lyrics _are_
written to match a given rhythm at seminal points, so there is some
motivation to either put none of the rhythm into the lyrics (and let
them get autotimed using \addlyrics/lyricsto) or put all of it in and
use explicit durations.

Ok, that makes sense. Looks like this is just a rough edge, where the requirements of auto-length lyrics are in conflict with the requirements of parallel notation. I’ll look into explicit duration or suppressing the warning.

Thanks again!

Best,

Galen
