Hi Romel,

How do I sneak lyrics into that section? Recognizing that the music

there is no way, I can live with the second situation (the one where "little
star" is a little ways down)... but it /would/ be nice to get them all on
the same line. ^_^

Thanks in advance for any input.

I'd advise you to avoid <<  {} \\ {} >> for all but the most basic of polyphony, since it's basically a shortcut which can cause problems, as you've found out.

A better way would be to instatiate the lower voice as a new voice, so that the main voice remains "twinkle":

\version "2.10.25"
\paper {
   ragged-right = ##t
}
\score {
   <<
       \new Voice="twinkle" \relative c' {
           c c g' g
       \voiceOne
           << {
           a4 a g2
           \oneVoice
       }
       \new Voice { \voiceTwo
           f4 f e2
       } >>
           \bar "|."
       }
       \new Lyrics \lyricsto "twinkle" {
           Twin -- kle, twin -- kle, lit -- tle star.
       }
   >>
}

Regards,
Neil
