Mike,

I got it to work successfully with the following change:

    \new Lyrics = sopranos \with {
      \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN
      } { s1 }


The lyrics were still a little bit high, however.  It's almost like there's
a blank context hiding in the middle.  But I haven't been able to get rid of
that small amount of extra space.

HTH,

Carl
