Ah OK. Did you see that you can also specify several verses? These are
aligned with the rhythms in the soprano voice (or the alto if there is
no soprano line) when you specify two voices per staff. They are
placed between the two staves. I've attached an example of this. HTH

I got a bit further: naming the lyrics for the upper voice as VerseOne
did, indeed, place them where I want them. I think, though, that my
problem is that I'm being asked to have a set of lyrics for S/A and the
same set for T/B, each below their respective staves. The T/B line isn't
totally identical to the upper one, and both the alto and bass have
brief passages different from soprano and tenor. It seems to me that my
path to salvation will greatly be eased by spending time considering
single staff and temporary polyphony. SATB.ly seems ideal when lyrics
are shared by all voices, and it will surely be come my main tool for
that case. Again, thanks for all your contributions to Lilypond, Trevor!
Cheers,
Colin
