I got a bit further: naming the lyrics for the upper voice as VerseOne 
did, indeed, place them where I want them. I think, though, that my 
problem is that I'm being asked to have a set of lyrics for S/A and the 
same set for T/B, each below their respective staves. The T/B line isn't 
totally identical to the upper one, and both the alto and bass have 
brief passages different from soprano and tenor. It seems to me that my 
path to salvation will greatly be eased by spending time considering 
single staff and temporary polyphony. SATB.ly seems ideal when lyrics 
are shared by all voices, and it will surely be come my main tool for 
that case. Again, thanks for all your contributions to Lilypond, Trevor!
