Hello,
thanks quite a lot for your answer!
Unfortunately I did send an out-of-phase input file (I experimented with 
different settings). Now I rerun the example at home with the final block

\score {
         \simultaneous {
           \addlyrics
              \context Staff = mel
              { 
                \melody }
              \context Lyrics \text
         }
                           \midi  { \tempo 4=120}       
         \paper { papersize = "a4"  }
}

and obtained just one line with several overlaps in the text.

An additional question: The midi output doesn't seem to produce any 
sound when played with Winamp on Win2000. What might be the reason?

Best regards
Alois

PS.: I append the complete song for reference; hope that I don't waste 
too much bandwidth:

\header {
         title = "Der schlafende Apfel "
        tagline = " "
}
\paper{ papersize = "a4" }
\include "paper20.ly"
\include "deutsch.ly"
melody = \notes
        \relative c'' {
        \property Score.midiInstrument = "alto sax"
        \property Score.midiInstrument = "banjo"
        \key g \major
        \time 2/4
        d8 d e e | d4 h | c8 c a a |
        g2
        | d'8 d e e | d d h4 | c8 c a a | g2
  \bar "|."
}

        
text = \lyrics < {
            \context LyricsVoice = "Soprano-1"
            \property LyricsVoice .stanza = "1:"
            \property LyricsVoice .stz = "(1)"  
Lie- ber, lie- ber Ap- fel, bist so schön und
rund und die Mut- ter hat ge- sagt, Äp- fel sind ge -- sund.
}
{
            \context LyricsVoice = "Soprano-2"
            \property LyricsVoice .stanza = "2:"
            \property LyricsVoice .stz = "(2)"  
Lie- ber, lie- ber Ap- fel, spring doch gleich vom Baum!
Schau, ich halt die Schür- ze schon un- ten an dem Saum.
