After reading "2.3.2 Aligning lyrics to a melody" from the 2.18.2 manual
I still cannot seem to get my lyrics to extend over 2 notes. Am I
missing something or is there something missing from the documentation.
My Christmas "sleigh" should fill in the complete staff and my "Jingle
should stay put in the next staff.
   \addlyrics {
    Jin -- gle bells, | jin -- gle bells, | jin -- gle all the | way.

I think that you will get what you want if you add a space after sleigh. and remove the X
So the last line would be

Oh, what fun it | is to ride in_a | one horse o -- pen | sleigh. ___

But, since it's two notes should you not make it

Oh, what fun it | is to ride in_a | one horse o -- pen | sle -- igh.

English isn't my first language.
So any error or strangeness is due to the translation.
Please correct my English so that I may become better.
