The issue arose a while ago,

I'd also like to assign lyrics to voices freely and I expect them to
be aligned in a simple way.  Too much cleverness on how to place them
looks misleading to my mind.

However, if you insert a break in main Voice such as in


music = \relative f' {
        \new Voice ="main" { c1 c c \break }
        \new Voice = "fork" { d1 d d d }
}

mainlyrics = \lyricmode { main main main }
forklyricsOne = \lyricmode { forkOne forkOne forkOne forkOne  }
forklyricsTwo = \lyricmode { forkTwo forkTwo forkTwo forkTwo  } 

\score {
        <<
                \new Staff { \music }
                \new Lyrics \lyricsto "main" { \mainlyrics }
                \new Lyrics \lyricsto "fork" { \forklyricsOne }
                \new Lyrics \lyricsto "fork" { \forklyricsTwo }
        >>
}

%%%%%END

then both forks align well.
