But you don't need to - that's my whole point. Forget the whole idea of making 
a syllable line up with the alto note. The singers don't care, and it doesn't 
matter. Just let the words line up with the soprano notes, and it's good 
enough. This is how hymns and strophic songs are done - otherwise, it's much 
too complicated.
