Comment #7 on issue 1026 by tdanielsmusic: Documentation: adapting Lyrics  
when using \repeatTie
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1026

Documentation for using \alternative in repeats with lyrics has been added  
to NR 2.1 Vocal music/Techniques specific to lyrics/Lyrics and repeats in  
git, and it covers this point.

For the record, the issue is not straightforward, as the example in comment  
5 illustrates.  In order to get the volta brackets in music and lyrics to  
line up correctly it is necessary to disable the automatic detection of a  
melisma over a tied note and insert manual skips in both sections (AFAICS):

\relative c' {
  \repeat volta 2 {
    \set melismaBusyProperties = #'()
    c d e f~ |
  }
  \alternative {
    { f a b c }
    { f, \repeatTie g a c }
    \unset melismaBusyProperties
  }
}

\addlyrics {
  \repeat volta 2 {
    c d e f
  }
  \alternative {
    { _ a b c }
    { _ g a c }
  }
}

This may be a bug, or indicate a desirable enhancement.  If so, a separate  
issue should be raised.
