Including a working example is always your best chance of getting an answer…
Anyway, using the volta structure — as recommended in the docs — seems to work
as expected for me:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.24"
\layout {
indent = 0
ragged-right = ##f
}
themusic = {
\fixed c'' {
\repeat volta 6 {
c4 d e f
\alternative {
\volta 1,2,3 { c2 e }
\volta 4,5 { f2 d }
\volta 6 { e2 f }
}
}
c1
}
}
thelyrics = \lyricmode {
\repeat volta 6 {
Here’s how to set
\alternative {
{ the words }
{ more words }
{ even more }
}
}
words.
}
<<
\new Staff \new Voice = "mel" \themusic
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" \thelyrics
>>
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Let me know why this doesn’t work for your use case.
Cheers,
Kieren.
