That is great, thanks. I have not yet got my head around context

But you need to revisit how you've structured the lyrics in your
example. You've written it as though the three verses should be
sung simultaneously (within << >>) each time the music is repeated.
How is that at its root different for your Deck? There it is just a bit less
visible as the parallelism is coded at the level of the staff which is a bit
further away from the lyrics definitions.
Your texti, textii and textiii are according to the syntax also to be sung
simultaneously.
I agree that different structuring would probably make the problem go
away. I am still learning my way around Lilypond; my programming skill
are only partially transferable.
Usually I am only typing up a lead sheet, so everything fits on one
page. My accompanist generally has the full score, but the print is a
bit small for me and it has page turns. When accompanying myself I
frequently use the lead sheet and play simplified chords.
I also transcribe songs where no printed version exists, at least that I
can find.
