I'm setting a song with multiple verses, one of which starts with a syllable spanning two notes.  I'd like a dotted tie in the score, but how best to achieve that?

Temporarily unset melismaBusyProperties like:

\version "2.25.4"

notes = \repeat volta 2 {
  \once \tieDotted
  \set melismaBusyProperties = #'()
  d'2~ d'2
  \unset melismaBusyProperties
  e'2. 4
}
words = \lyricmode {
  << { Lo -- rem ip -- sum }
     \new Lyrics {
       \set associatedVoice = "notes"
       do _ -- lo -- rit
     }
  >>
}

\score { <<
  \new Voice="sungNotes" \notes
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto sungNotes { \words }
>> }
