It depends on how long the section that's the same is. If it's long,
I find the simplest way is to just split the tune where you need
different numbers of words, and then put it together in the score
section.
Like:
wordsA = \lyrics{these words are the same for all parts.}
wordsB = \lyrics {and these are for the soprano.}
wordsC = \lyrics { and these are just for the alto.}
notesAsop = \notes {soprano notes that go with wordsA}
notesAalt = \notes {alto notes that go with wordsA}
notesB = \notes {notes that go with wordsB}
notesC = \notes{ notes that go with wordsC}
\score = {<\addlyrics{\notesAsop \wordsA}
\notesAalt>
<\addlyrics{\notesB \wordsB}
\addlyrics{\notesC =wordsC}
>
}
If you have lots of short little sections where the words differ or
are the same, Jan's suggestion is probably better.
