Hi Kieren.
But, ... I don't really see why it should. There are many songs for
which the vocal precedes the melody. Perhaps there is some other way to
accomplish this that I'm unaware of. I'm pretty much a novice at
writing. However, I am transcribing a published score into LP as an
exercise but also to do my own arrangement.
Rests are valid musical expressions (AFAIK) so why shouldn't it be
possible to attach a syllable to a rest?

Hi John,
I need to attach the word to the rest so the rest of the lyrics align properly.
Right. (Certainly it would be *VERY* unusual to actually attach a lyric to a
rest!)
I don't think shifting it will do the job (although I'll try it).
Just to clarify: I gave you an adjusted snippet to consider; if it’s not
shifted enough, increase the #0.5.
Cheers,
Kieren.
