Jacques,
The problem is that the melisma you are copying continues through the
last note where you want to put the "o". If it MUST be that way, there
are actually a couple of ways to do it. Here's one (use a phrasingSlur):
%<-------------------- SNIP --------------------
\version "2.18.2"
Alto = \relative {
\time 2/4
d'16 \( [ e f d ] e4 | % <--- CONVERT TO PHRASING SLUR
f4 \)
}
AltoLyricsOne = \lyricmode {
De -- _ _ _ _ o % <--- USE UNDERSCORES TO CREATE MELISMA
}
<<
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "Alto"
}{
\new Voice = "Alto" { \Alto }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "Alto" \AltoLyricsOne
>>
%<-------------------- SNIP --------------------
The single underscores are indicators for notes that get included into
the melisma. This is the manual way to do it and takes more effort
since you need to count out the correct number of underscores.
Now, I think that this is the correct way to do it:
%<-------------------- SNIP --------------------
\version "2.18.2"
Alto = \relative {
\time 2/4
d'16 ( [ e f d ] e4 ) | % <--- SLUR ENDS HERE
f4
}
AltoLyricsOne = \lyricmode {
De -- o
}
<<
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "Alto"
}{
\new Voice = "Alto" { \Alto }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "Alto" \AltoLyricsOne
>>
%<-------------------- SNIP --------------------
The real problem is that while "De" gets all the notes in the first
measure, the slur in the picture you sent seems to indicate that the
"De" syllable should continue to the next one too, which isn't true.
The error thus arises because the "o" syllable has NO NOTE to attach to
when you use the slur "(" syntax, which then means the hyphen extender
"--" also has no text to extend between. Moving the end of the slur to
the last note in the first measure ends the duration of "De" at the
correct time and allows "o" to be attached to its proper note.
If it were me, I would choose the second snippet because it provides
the correct syllabic intent for the singer. But if for some reason you
needed to replicate the picture exactly, then the first snippet will do
that for you.
HTH,
Abraham
