The problem is that \addlyrics doesn't really work that way, see Sect.
"7.3.4 The Lyrics Context".
It seems that the following version actually does work:

pennsylvania = <<
   \new Voice{\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross
       r2_\markup{ shout } f8. f16 f8. f16 f4 f f8. f16 r4 }
   \addlyrics { Penn syl van ia six five thous and }
>>

I'm now trying to add some words to a phrase ...

%       \addlyrics { Penn syl van ia six five thous and }
}

voiceTromboneI =  \relative c' {

        r2  ef4.-- ef8-> ~ ef1 r2 r4 bf8.->( ef16-.) r2 r4 ef,8. af,16->
~ |
\break
        af2 c-- df-- d-- ef-- df-- c-- bf-- |
\break
        \repeat "volta" 2 { R1*6 } \alternative { { \resetOctave f
\pennsylvania } { \pennsylvania } }

}

Note that the addlyrics line is commented out ... and I've copied the
layout of this from the example at the end of 7.3.1 in the manual ...

The music "knows" from elsewhere that both my alternative sections are
two bars long. When I compile the above, it works perfectly - the notes
appear perfectly in the time bars.

As soon as I uncomment the lyrics line, the lyrics appear over the
correct notes, but the entire phrase seems to become four bars long -
completely messing up the bar structure! What am I doing wrong?

Note that the music both starts and ends with a rest, which is why I
haven't tried specifying music lengths for the words - and it seems to
be shoving the words in the correct place anyway.

Cheers,
Wol
