Dear Steve,I think the reason for this is hinted at by the cryptic "5/8" in the barcheck failure message. The "mine" at the end of the first measure extends all the way until the next note ("I"), which is not at the beginning of a bar, causing the barcheck to fail. If you try the following example which is identical except for removing "\skip |" which doesn't do anything and changing the notes of the third measure, the barcheck warning goes away.
I think the only way to deal with this is to put barline checks in lyrics only when the lyric is on the first beat of the measure.
Thanks,
-William

I can resolve it by adding a \skip to the end of the lyrics for the first measure, by removing the bar at the end of the first measure of lyrics, or by removing the third measure completely (both music and lyric).I have 6 notes in the first measure and 6 syllables in the lyrics so I don't understand why I'm getting a barcheck warning, especially because if you take out the third measure of music you don't get the warning.(In all cases the layout is exactly what I'm expecting/wanting). Please help me see the error of my ways.
