Hello Paul,
Here is a small example to show you how I use lyrics for cue voices. I am not
sure that it is the best lilypondic-way to code, but it works.
Have a nice day,
Rémy
PS : Sorry for the notes in Italian.
\version "2.18.2"
\include "italiano.ly"
cueVerseII = \new Voice \relative do' {
<< { \new CueVoice = "cueA" \relative do'' {
\autoBeamOff \clef treble fad8. mi16 re8 dod re16[ \melisma mi re mi]
dod8.[ si16] \melismaEnd
si2 r8 si4 do16[ re] do4 do r8 la4 si16[ do] si8 si la sol sol16[ \melisma
la sol la] fad8.[ mi16] \melismaEnd mi2*1/4 } } \\
{ \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #7 R1*4 la''8\rest }
>>
}
cueL_VerseII = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "Sop. I: "
Je -- sus will mich de -- cken, Je -- sus, Je -- sus, Je -- sus, Je -- sus
will mich de -- cken,
}
VI_VerseII = \relative do''' {
\time 4/4
R1*16 \cueVerseII si8 si si sol do16 si la8. sol16 la4. sol16 fad sol8 la16

Hello,

It is hard to understand what you want to achieve here.
In addition your structure is strange. I do not expect the \new Voice = "cue"
in the \addQuote command but rather below in your \score block.

You only have one note in your oboe voice, hence only lyrics below this note.

If you want your lyrics to align on another voice then you can use a NullVoice
context as explained in NR 2.1.2 Techniques specific to lyrics > Polyphony with
shared lyrics
