I'm type setting an aria where there are optional low notes for a single
measure. My normal approach when setting instrumental music does not work
here, because the lyrics do not follow the notes properly.

Here's my snippet.

The text "la catena" should match to the notes in measures 1 and 2. "Che
non cerca" should follow starting on measure 3.

I think I understand what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it.
There are three different voices, and the lyrics are following only one of
them. There is one voice that contains the notes in measures 1, 3 and 4,
and then two more voices for the notes in measure 2.

I've had the same problem before when having to tie and slur between divisi
and non-divisi sections of a score. Hopefully there is a sane method of
getting this to work that I'm not aware of.
