This was discussed in the thread

There's an equivalent notation in barbershop where people write
lyric extenders on notes that don't require them, which is a
pain to reproduce in LP.

<<
  { \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
    a'1 a'16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 }

BTW I was tidying up some download directories and came across
the attached. It or the link might have been posted by one of you,
but it shows the kind of compromises made when printing band
music with no page turns. Navigating during rehearsals must be
interesting.

Cheers,
David.
