Maybe that's oldfashioned, but it works for me (with 2.10.33).
I knew I would have to get into explaining this. There is no
nesting. What I have are two verses, say,
{\autoBeamOff c8 d e4 f g}
and in the second verse,
{\autoBeamOff c8[ d] e4 f g}.
Engraving that isn't really a problem
\relative {\autoBeamOff <<{\voiceOne c8 d } \new Voice {\voiceTwo
c8[ d] }>>\oneVoice e4 f g}
That's fine. I have it happening tons of times. The problem is
then having lyrics automatically align to these notes. Usually I
just name my voice context and be done with it:
\relative {
\context Voice = "unbeamed notes"
\autoBeamOff
<<
{ \voiceone c8 d}
\context Voice = "beamed notes" { \voiceTwo c8[ d] }
>> \oneVoice e4 f g
}
And then I automatically add text to it, using the above method.
Problem is, with it happening 10 or more times in a single piece,
I'm having problems aligning all of the lyrics to the appropriate
notes.
Well, the way I do this is by doing exactly what Henning proposed:
split your (almost) implicit voices in explicit, separate voices.
The only problem I then have is filling up the second voice with
enough spacer notes so that they are position correctly. I
augmented the proposal with a few notes so as to make my idea
clear. This makes the alignment of lyrics to notes automatically
correct.
How is a voice (almost) implicit? I explicitly create the first voice
"unbeamed notes" and then I explicitly create the second voice
"beamed notes". Both voices are explicitly created. The problem I
have is that when I switch between voices in my melody, the lyrics
don't pick up when the voice comes back. Is that a bug? Maybe I don't
understand voice or lyrics contexts, but I read that things are
carried over in a voice context. Bah. I guess I'll just do this the
long way.
