I kept having problems like that, and whenever I found anything like a
solution to them, the solution wouldn't port well to the next lilypond
version.

So what I do now is make the incipit a separate score, which I print
above the piece, and then print the voice with the ambit in the normal
way.

I don't think this is the ideal solution, but on the other hand, people
who haven't played much early music often get confused by having the
incipit on the staff with the music they're supposed to play, so it
solves that problem too.

The most recent example of what this ends up looking like is

All animals are strictly dry:
They sinless live and swiftly die;
But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men
Survive for three score years and ten.
And some of them, a very few,
Stay pickled till they're 92.
