Hopefully this clip is of some help. I didn't dig deeper into your
example but it seems a bit different from this.

If you have just one note (and syllable) in the alternative voice you
have to call both the setting and unsetting commands before that
syllable. Could that confuse LP?

The alternate melodies have stems pointing down.

Another issue... If I try to set e.g. \stemDown at the beginning of
the song, it only affects the first two notes before the <<.
Naturally, it shouldn't affect the second and the fourth measure but
in the 3rd and the 5th the stems are pointing up. Normal?

PS. I'm sorry for calling Trevor as Mats in my previous message. It's
usually Mats who posts the first comment. :-)
