You just give a name to the voice of music you want to attach your
lyrics to. To make it clear what is what in the syntax I didn't use the
obvious name "mainvoice" but "THEMUSIC" in the following example:
\score{
  <<
    \context Voice = THEMUSIC \mainvoice
    \lyricsto THEMUSIC \new Lyrics \mainwords
  >>
}


If you want to split lyrics when the music splits into several voices,
use separate Voice contexts with separate names and just attach the
lyrics to the corresponding voice. Read in "7.3.6 More stanzas" to see
one example.

7. Finally (for now), I'm having trouble aligning lyrics to music. I
have this:
mainvoice = \relative c
{
     \key a \minor

     \repeat volta 2
     {
         \partial 8*3
         e8 a8.  [ b16] c2~c8 b16 a gis8. a16 b2 r8
     }
}

mainwords = \lyricmode{ one -- two -- three -- four five six }

So, the end of sylable four should align with c2~c8.. It does, but
"five" is also under the c2, not under the subsequent b16 where it
belongs. I've tried adding _ and __ and even _ __, but there doesn't
seem to be any effect. Am I doing something wrong? Same problem in
English and Cyrillic.


Please re-read the sections about lyrics carefully. You probably want to use
\lyricsto or \addlyrics.


I see, but I don't understand to what I must "attach" \lyricsto

Also, is there a way to have a main lyrics line for choral stuff, and alternative extra lyrics per voice as needed? ie so the main lyrics only print out once if there's a master staff? Does that make sense?
