What is the best way to handle crescendos and decrescendos when they need
to start on beat 4 of a whole note for example.

Lyrics that start in one voice also disappear when introducing <<...\\ ...>>
using spacers for crescendos and decrescendos over a whole note that start
on a different beat other than the downbeat.

In the following example the second syllable should start on the d'1 not
it's tied note.
What is the best way to do crescendos, decrescendos, ties, \sustainOn etc
in these situations? Especially if the lyrics disappear, that's a problem.

I seem to be missing something regarding voices I assume?

How would you all handle this so the lyrics don't disappear?


\version "2.20.0"
 \new Staff <<
    \new Voice = "music"  {

      e'1 ~
      <<
        {e'1 | d'1 ~  }
        \\
        {s2 s \> }
      >>

    d'1

    }

   \new Lyrics \with {
     \override VerticalAxisGroup.
        nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #2
      \override VerticalAxisGroup.
        nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.padding = #2
  }
