Hi,

Yes this is an issue (also present with current version 2.17.10).
But it won't be easy to determine how to properly solve it, IMHO.

Cc: bug-lilypond
There is no open issue about this on the tracker AFAICS, so could you
add it please?

@Todd
As a workaround you can use \unfoldRepeats for lyrics words only.

%%%% Lily code
\version "2.14.2"

notes = \relative c' {
  c4 c c c |
  \repeat volta 2 {
    r c d e |
    f g a( b) |
    c1 |
  }
}

words = \lyricmode {
  I want to sing.
  \repeat volta 2 {
    Cre -- ate in me a clean heart.
  }
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \clef treble
      \key c \major
      \time 4/4
      \new Voice = "solo" {
        \notes
      }
    }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "solo" {
      \unfoldRepeats {
        \words
      }
    }
  >>
}
%%%% End of lily code

Cheers,
Xavier
