Lyrics "polyphony"

[Urs Liska]

Hi,

I've come across the need to temporarily split lyrics into two "stanzas" 
(in repeated sections).

The code I am confronted with does this by using some kind of polyphony 
construct, but this ends up creating a new \Lyrics context that is added 
below the lowest staff instead of directly below the original Lyrics 
context:


%%%
\version "2.19.80"

notesA = \relative {
  \autoBeamOff
  c'' d e d | c8 [ b ] c  d  c4 g
}

notesB = \relative {
  c' d e d | c b c e
}

words = \lyricmode {
  A B C D
  <<
    {
      e -- f g
    }
    \new Lyrics {
      E F G
    }
  >>
  C  G
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \new Voice = "upper" \notesA
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "upper" \words
    \new Staff \new Voice = "lower" \notesB
  >>
}
%%%

How can I make sure the split lyrics end up next to each other?

Thanks for any hints
Urs
