Re: Spacer rests, dynamics and lyrics don't mix

You have put the notes and dynamics in different Voice contexts, hence the 
slight displacements.  To work correctly they must be in the same Voice. 
Try this:

%%% Start %%%
\version "2.11.65"

melody = \relative c'
{
   \time 3/4
   f8._\> f16\! f8 f8_\< f f\!
   f8. f16 f8 f8 f f
   f8. f16 f8 f8 f f
   f4_\f f f
}

dynamics =
{
   \time 3/4
   s2.
   s8._\> s16\!  s8 s_\< s8 s\!
   s8._\> s16\!  s8 s_\< s8 s\!
   s4 s_\f s
}

words = \lyricmode
{
   Tral -- la -- la tral -- la -- lah!
   Tral -- la -- la tral -- la -- lah!
}

<<
   \new Voice = "mel"
   <<
       \melody
       \dynamics
   >>
   \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" \words
