Thanks to you all!
I'll give the (essential two: Kieren/Elaine, and Gabriel) methods a try,
and will report back here which way I'll take.

To my eye, they’re the same approach (at least fundamentally):
attach lyrics to a voice that has all necessary rhythms, and then
use some mechanism to turn display of the notes off.
Just a thought on another possible technique, although I haven’t used
it much if at all in my music:
Manual syllable durations might be a good option for you.

I hope this helps.
