lyric syllable skipping a note -- why?

[Eduardo Vieira]

Hello users,

I've been struggling to set the lyrics correctly for this song. But I can't
assign the word "right" and the word "true" (2nd stanza) for the note "d2."
in this part: << { d2. } \\ { g,4.( f4.) } >>
This construct seems to mess up the lyrics flow and those words are put
under the next chord: <g e>8

Gratefully

Eduardo Vieira

P. S. Never mind the 2 ways of entering lyrics, I was just testing if it
would make a difference in this case.


Here's the code
