Transition rates and mean lifetimes for odd-parity levels of ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$, ${}_{}{}^{40}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ca}$, ${}_{}{}^{48}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ca}$, and ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ are obtained by using the wave functions of a renormalized random-phase approximation (RPA) treatment. For ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ the even-parity levels are also included.
