Some general findings testing with:
~~~~
\displayLilyMusic
<<
\chords { c1 }
\chords { d }
>>
\displayLilyMusic
<<
\lyrics { foo1 }
\lyrics { bar }
>>
\displayLilyMusic
<<
\drums { hh1 }
\drums { bd }
>>
\displayLilyMusic
<<
\figures { <6> }
\figures { <7> }
>>
~~~~
returning:
<< \new ChordNames { < c' e' g' >1 } \new ChordNames { < d' fis' a' >1 } >>
<< \lyrics { foo } \lyrics { bar } >>
<< \drums { hihat1 } \drums { bassdrum1 } >>
<< \figures { < 6 >1 } \figures { < 7 >1 } >>
This looks ok but inconsistent to me.
In NR I've found:
"\chords { … } is a shortcut notation for \new ChordNames { \chordmode { … } }"
"\figures{ … } is a shortcut notation for \new FiguredBass { \figuremode { … }
}"
and
"The simplest way to enter percussion notes is to use the \drums command, which
creates the correct context and entry mode for percussion"
Is there any reason for displayLilyMusic returning different?
\lyrics isn't explained at all, afaik.
I'd suggest to explain \drums at the lines of \chords and \figures.
\lyrics should be deprecated or documented properly as already said on Rietveld.
Ofcourse this is beyond this issue, worth another ticket?

** [issues:#5032] Using \with with \chords, \drums and \figures**
**Status:** Started

If the \chords command is used to set the input mode (rather than the more
usual \chordmode command - see NR 5.4.1) context amendments specified within a
\with command must be placed immediately after \chords so that the context
created implicitly by the \chords command is modified. The same applies to
other short-hands for creating contexts such as \drums, \figures, etc. This
should be documented.
(Thanks to Thomas Morley (Harm) for the explanation.)
