Thanks for your help! I hadn’t understood that associatedVoice could be used:
Manual syllable durations
In some complex vocal music, it may be desirable to place lyrics completely independently of notes. In this case do not use \lyricsto or \addlyrics and do not set associatedVoice.
Maybe an example such as this one could be added to the snippets repository?
My other question stems from Recordare’s Echigo-jishi.xml. MuseScore attaches the syllable ツ :
<measure number="36" width="220">
<print new-system="yes"/>
<note default-x="52">
<rest/>
<duration>4</duration>
<voice>1</voice>
<type>eighth</type>
<lyric default-y="-80" number="1">
<syllabic>single</syllabic>
<text>ツ</text>
</lyric>
</note>
to the rest:
It is handled by same way by Finale 2014.
Shouldn’t such a case lead to an error message, or at least to the <text /> being ignored (I know, no one among the Lilypond support team can probably act on that)?

I’m trying to obtain a second score identical to the first one in the
example below, without using \lyricsto and with syllables having their
duration attached to them, but no way.
How can that be done?
_ is a syllable of its own,
lyricsWithDurations = \lyricmode {
"do"1 __ _2 _ |
"fa"1
}
Well, actually the point of explicit durations is _not_ to have to track
every melisma, so you'd likely enter this rather as
%%%%%%%%%%%%
melody = \relative {
c'1 d2 e2 |
f1
}
lyricsWithoutDurations = \lyricmode {
"do" __ _ _ |
"fa"
}
lyricsWithDurations = \lyricmode {
"do"1*2 __ |
"fa"1
}
<<
\new Staff <<
\context Voice = "melody" <<
\melody
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
\lyricsWithoutDurations
}
<<
\new Staff <<
\context Voice = "melody" <<
\melody
\new Lyrics \with { associatedVoice = "melody" } {
\lyricsWithDurations
}%%%%%%%%%%%%
(1*2 as a template is a bit more flexible than \breve which would
achieve the same job in this case but would not extend to stuff like
1*5/2 easily).
