The easiest way to add lyrics to a melody is to append
\addlyrics { the lyrics }
to a melody. Here is an example,
\time 3/4
\relative { c2 e4 g2. }
\addlyrics { play the game }
More stanzas can be added by adding more
\addlyrics sections
\time 3/4
\relative { c2 e4 g2. }
\addlyrics { play the game }
\addlyrics { speel het spel }
\addlyrics { joue le jeu }
The command \addlyrics cannot handle polyphony settings. For these
cases you should use \lyricsto and \lyricmode.
