In a certain way, the unfolded example is inconsistent, right? Shouldn’t it be
something like
\version "2.23.14"
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "melody" {
\relative {
a'4 a a a
\repeat unfold 2 { b4 b b b }
}
}
}
\new Lyrics {
\lyricsto "melody" {
\repeat unfold 2 { Not re -- peat -- ed. }
\alternative {
{ The first time words. }
{ Sec -- ond time words. }
}
}
}
>>
}
Otherwise, you have an example with music that has a \repeat command and lyrics
that don’t…
Cheers,
Kieren.
