differing ways. Such variations can still be captured with

<h4 class="unnumberedsubsubsec">Divisi lyrics</h4>
<p>You can display alternate (or divisi) lyrics by naming voice
contexts and attaching lyrics to those specific contexts.
</p>
<blockquote><pre class="verbatim">\score{ <<
\new Voice = "melody" {
\relative c' {
c4
<<
{ \voiceOne c8 e }
\new Voice = "splitpart" { \voiceTwo c4 }
>>
\oneVoice c4 c | c
}
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { we shall not o- ver- come }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "splitpart" { will }
>> }

<p>You can use this trick to display different lyrics for a repeated
section.

\new Voice = "verse" \repeat volta 2 {c4 d e f | g1 | }

<h4 class="unnumberedsubsubsec">Lyrics independent of notes</h4>
<a name="index-Devnull-context"></a>
<p>In some complex vocal music, it may be desirable to place
lyrics completely independently of notes. Music defined
inside <code>lyricrhythm</code> disappears into the
<code>Devnull</code> context, but the rhythms can still be used
to place the lyrics.
</p>
<blockquote><pre class="verbatim">voice = {
c''2
\tag #'music { c''2 }
\tag #'lyricrhythm { c''4. c''8 }
d''1
}
lyr = \lyricmode { I like my cat! }
<<
\new Staff \keepWithTag #'music \voice
\new Devnull="nowhere" \keepWithTag #'lyricrhythm \voice
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "nowhere" \lyr
\new Staff { c'8 c' c' c' c' c' c' c'
c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' }
>>
</pre><p>
<a href="../c5/lily-e98fcb4d.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0"
src="../c5/lily-e98fcb4d.png"
alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This method is recommended only if the music in the <code>Devnull</code>
context does not contain melismata. Melismata are defined by the
<code>Voice</code> context. Connecting lyrics to a <code>Devnull</code> context
makes the voice/lyrics links to get lost, and so does the info on
melismata. Therefore, if you link lyrics to a <code>Devnull</code> context,
the implicit melismata get ignored.

<h4 class="unnumberedsubsubsec">Spacing out syllables</h4>
<a name="index-Spacing-lyrics"></a>
<a name="index-Lyrics_002c-increasing-space-between"></a>
<p>To increase the spacing between lyrics, set the minimum-distance property of
LyricSpace.
</p>
<blockquote><pre class="verbatim">{
c c c c
\override Lyrics.LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #1.0
c c c c
}
\addlyrics {

<p>To make this change for all lyrics in the score, set the property in the
layout.
</p>
<blockquote><pre class="verbatim">\score {

\addlyrics {

<h4 class="subsubheading">Selected Snippets</h4>
<p>Checking to make sure that text scripts and lyrics are within the margins is
a relatively large computational task. To speed up processing, LilyPond does
not perform such calculations by default; to enable it, use
</p>
<blockquote><pre class="example">\override Score.PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
</pre></blockquote>
<p>To make lyrics avoid bar lines as well, use
</p>
<blockquote><pre class="example">\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\consists "Bar_engraver"
\consists "Separating_line_group_engraver"
\override BarLine #'transparent = ##t
