Do you want to attach the syllable(s) to the rest(s), or simply nudge the syllable left a little (e.g., to relax the lyric spacing that follows)? If the latter, then try: \version "2.24.3" global = { \time 4/4 \key b \major \tempo 4=80 } \score { << \new Staff { \relative c' { \global r4 r8 fis8 fis [fis fis gis ( ] gis4 ) e8 e ( e4 ) r4 | r4 r8 dis16 dis dis8 e4 fis8 | } } \addlyrics { \tweak self-alignment-X #0.5 but it's writ -- ten in the star -- light __ _ _ } >> } [where you can obviously adjust the #0.5 to your liking] Hope this helps!
