Though the docs do talk about putting lyrics into the same repeat structure as the music, there's one detail in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/lyrics-and-repeats that you may have missed: "... when one of the \alternative blocks starts with a rest, a repeat construct cannot be used around the words" Change the lyrics block to just words = \lyricmode { a b c d e } and it should behave itself a bit better for you. -- Michael
