Re: Lyrics not lining up properly

[Mats Bengtsson]

Yes, this is one alternative, another one is
\version "2.2.0"
\score{
<<
  \context Staff=cornett {\skip 1}
  \context Lyrics=song {\skip 1*20}

\context Staff=cornett \notes{
\relative c''{
\key bes \major
   \time 6/8
   \partial 8 f,8 | bes(d) f, bes(d) f, | bes( d4 )~ d4
       <<
           {ees8^"(Sing)" | d4 d8 c4 c8 | bes4.~bes4}
           { \context Lyrics=song \lyrics {A8 hunt4 -- ing8 we4 will8 
go.4. }}
       >>
   f8 | bes(d) f, bes(d) f, | bes( d4 )~ d4
       <<
           {ees8^"(Sing)" | d4 d8 c4 c8 | bes4}
           { \context Lyrics=song \lyrics {A8 hunt4 -- ing8 we4 will8 
go.4}}
       >>
       }}
>>
}

Yet another alternative is to use \lyricsto combined with \skip
directives as shown in
