Hi Keith,

Thanks for posting the image.

If question is whether or not this is possible with LilyPond, I would
say "Yes!", but I can't really think of any way to easily achieve the
results you want.

You *might* try adding slurs to the melody in the appropriate places,
and then using Inkscape to drag the slurs down to the appropriate
locations.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help; I don't use lyrics with LilyPond
very often, so my knowledge is a bit rusty.


Thanks,
Patrick
