Another solution, (and the one that I use), is to put the notes for which the
words are different into a different voice context, and then add lyrics to that
voice. It requires a bit more planning before you begin to typeset, but it
makes files a little easier to navigate, in my opinion, and I can separate
things out a bit easier.
soprano = \relative c'' {
\context Voice = "soprano 1" {
c4 c c c ~
c1 ~
c4 } c r c
\context Voice = "soprano 2" { c4 c c c }
}
alto = \relative a' {
a4 a a a
a a a a
a a a a
a a a a
}
sopranolyricsone = \lyricmode {
la -- la -- la -- la __
}
sopranolyricstwo = \lyricmode {
la -- la -- la
}
altolyrics = \lyricmode {
la -- la -- la -- la,
la -- la -- la -- la,
la -- la -- la -- la,
la, la -- la -- la!
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff = "staff" <<
\context Voice = "soprano" { \voiceOne \soprano }
\context Voice = "alto" { \voiceTwo \alto }
>>
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } \lyricsto "soprano 1"
\sopranolyricsone
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } \lyricsto "soprano 2"
\sopranolyricstwo
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "alto" \altolyrics
>>
}
