I think the correct way to get consistent timing is to add the lyrics
into the quote, ie

\addQuote <<  \music \lyricsto "bla" \thelyrics >>

Unfortunately I'm not sure if the mechanics of the addQuote will make
this work correctly, but it is worth a try.

On the quoting side, you will need some changes too: cueDuring directs
to a Voice=cue context.  You  would have to make 2 parallel
QuoteMusics of the same music, one which directs to a Lyrics=cue
(which will print the lyrics) and another which directs to a
Voice=cue.

Good luck!
