Maybe it's a problem with terminology. A Staff context corresponds to what's printed on one stave of the score, i.e. it can basically just contain voices of music. Between the staves, you can have one or more lines of lyrics, which are handled by the Lyrics contexts, but they are not part of the Staff itself.
It's a long time since I read this part of the documentation, but I don't really understand how you can get the impression that you could have lyrics withing a Staff context.

Hi all,
I tried that, without any success. It doesn't seem to matter where or when I declare the lyrics context, it just fails.
my code looks now like this:
\new ChoirStaff {
<< \new Staff {
\notes \relative c' {
\key g \major
\context Lyrics = stemeenlyrics { s1 }
\context Voice = melodietwee \relative c' {
s4 | s 2.*15 | s2

} }

As I read the documentation this should work. I'm getting everything from bar check failed to junking ... event.
What goes wrong ??

Hello Maurits,
I recognized the problem and I knew it had to do with the way you define
your staffs and your lyrics. So, I rearranged it a little bit and that
works.
The way I read the documentation, the lyrics should be
created outside the staff context. and you defined, as far as I could see
it,
a Voice context and a lyrics context in a Voice; I'am amazed it worked
anyway in the original situation
Have fun! Ruud van Silfhout

Hi all,
I run into a problem setting music for choir. I searched all archives, all wiki pages but nothing turned up.
When you are setting music for choir, you sometimes have a first part that is for one voice only and repeated a few times (due to multiple verses). After that the verse is repeated, but this time with an extra voice written to it.
The setting of the music is not a problem, but when you are trying to add lyrics there occurs something strange.
The song in question is "We wish you a merry Christmas". I wrote a simple second voice to the last verse. Setting the music in lilypond was not difficult, so was setting the lyrics for the first three verses.
I used a \new Staff to set those first three verses.
To set the last verse, I used a new Choirstaff. Inside this Choirstaff I define two new staves. Because every voice in every staff has its own lyrics, I define the lyrics in each staff.
What happens is this: If you use the code as showed below, a new staff is created without a key signature and the lyrics are aligned correctly, namely directly below the notes to which the lyrics belong to.
If you include the key signature ( \key g \major ) (like in the second staff definition) the lyrics are misplaced, namely under the second staff
I included both versions, namely with key signature definition and without. I include both the .ly files. You can also find all files at http://www2.hku.nl/~maurits/lilypond/
The files with lyricsgoed are with the lyrics aligned correctly. The files with lyricsverkeerd are with the key signature and with the misplaced lyrics.
I use Lilypond 2.2.5 for Mac OS X and PC and both render the same kind of problem.
Anyone recognize this problem ??
