I'd rather use \tagGroup alto,non-alto \lyricmode { \tag alto { on -- ly al -- to } \tag non-alto { ev’ -- ry -- one ex -- cept al -- to } } \keepWithTag alto ... \keepWithTag non-alto ... But one would need to look at the rest to see whether this kind of tag group would end up problematic. -- David Kastrup
