It would look more like this:

\score {
  \new GrandStaff <<
    \new Staff = "upper" <<
      \new Voice = "melody" \melodyline
      \new Voice = "accompaniment" \accompaniment
      >>
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto melodyline \yourLyrics
    \new Staff = "lower" { \clef bass \lower }
    >>
 }

Notice the two Voice contexts I added inside the upper Staff context;
this way I can give each one a name, and align the lyrics only with
the one I want.

Hope this helps,
Valentin
