beginning of measure 3 to obtain the same result with Lily as with the
others?
A couple options I can think of:
1) Hidden pitch in the \lyricsto voice context; place the rest in a simultaneous voice.
2) Use \lyricsto with a NullVoice that has the timing you want.
3) Use explicit durations in the Lyrics; do not use \lyricsto.
