No interference.  In lyrics mode, you already have to write things like
\override Staff . TimeSignature to get the lexer putting out separate
tokens recognizable by the parser.  Since I was not going to change the
lexer, this requirement would stay the same when calling the respective
functions in lyrics mode.

This code would remain unaffected.
