My way of doing it (based on the way it is done in the hymnals with
which I am most familiar) is not to use small notes, but instead to use
dashed ties.
\version "2.19.80"
\paper {
ragged-right = ##f
}
% First stanza with correct rythm.
stanzaOneRhythm = \relative c' {
\time 6/4
\partial 4
e4 |
a2 a4 e4. 8 4 |
f2. c2 4 |
d2 e4 f2 d4
}
stanzaOneLyrics = \lyricmode {
Es war ein Kö -- nig in Thu -- le gar treu bis an das
}
% Second stanza omitted
% Third stanza with correct rythm.
stanzaThreeRhythm = \relative c' {
\time 6/4
\partial 4
e4 |
a2 a4 e2 4 |
f2. c2 4 |
d2 \autoBeamOff e8 8 f2 d4
}
stanzaThreeLyrics = \lyricmode {
Und als er kam zu ster -- ben, zählt er sei -- ne Städt im
}
displayedRhythm = \relative c' {
\time 6/4
\partial 4
e4 |
a2 a4 \tieDashed e4.~8 \tieSolid 4 |
f2. c2 4 |
d2 \autoBeamOff \tieDashed e8~8 \tieSolid f2 d4
}

HTH,

Yes, indeed it helps.
The idea with the NullVoice and independent rhythms is great. All in
all, there are 6 stanzas with 5 rhythm variants because of the diffent
numbers of syllables. Defining one displayed voice with the (potential)
shorter notes and individual rhythms for the stanzas gives me a very
good replication of the original score.
That's also the reason I don't want to use the dashed tie. Probably it
is a more readable form for rhythm variations in songs. But since I'm
unexperience with songs, I try to keep near the original.
Thanks,
