Re: How do I expand lyrics...

[Fredrik Wallberg]

Hi Kevin,

if you want one syllable to be sung on more than one note, add a slur across the
notes to create a melisma.
This is standard lyrics notation and Lilypond will behave as you would expect.
And if you *really* want that extender line after "sleigh", you should
use two underscores, not three.

Relevant lines:

add slur:
    f4 f f f  | f  e  e  e |e  d  d  e | d2( g2 ) | \break

extender line:
   Oh, what fun it | is to ride in_a | one horse o -- pen | sleigh. __ |
