Hi Alexander,

This usually means there are not enough notes to fit all the lyrics so
lilypond is leaving out the last syllable.

Go back and check that each syllable is appearing under the correct note.
Since your using \addlyrics and using underscores _ to indicate melisma
check these carefully. Using the Lyrics context ( chapter 7.3.4 in the user
manual ) is a lot easier than manual counting the note skips.

Trent
