I’m trying to apply the techniques for switching to an alternative melody for a
stanza from here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/notation/stanzas#stanzas-with-different-rhythms
So far the switch to the alternative melody is working alright, but the switch
back is giving me trouble. If I put the \unset command as indicated (one
syllable before it is supposed to apply) then the words switch back to the main
melody on the wrong note (one note too soon). If I put the unset command 1
syllable later, then the words disappear (presumably because they're sticking
with the alternative melody which has run out of notes). Have I misunderstood
something about how this technique is supposed to work?
