I've not been able to get it to work exactly the way you asked for it, but
here's my attempt to simplify the score.
Instead of making a set of simultaneous music expressions that are then
glued together sequentially (which causes problems in keeping staffs and
voices alive), I've made a set of sequential music expressions that are
then glued together simultaneously.
%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.55"
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
% define the Verse elements
verseChords = \chordmode {c1 d}
verseMelody = \context Voice {
\relative c' {
c4 d e f
g4 a b c
}
}
verseLyrics = \lyricmode {
One two three four
Five six seven eight
}
% define the Chorus elements
chorusChords = \chordmode {g1 c}
chorusMelody = \context Voice {
\relative c' {
c'4 b a g
f e d c
}
}
chorusLyrics = \lyricmode {
A B C D
E F G H
}
%define the total song elements
totalChords = { \verseChords \chorusChords}
totalMelody = { \verseMelody \chorusMelody }
totalLyrics = { \verseLyrics \chorusLyrics }
% put the music together
<<
\new ChordNames { \totalChords }
\new FretBoards { \totalChords }
\new Voice { \totalMelody }
\addlyrics { \totalLyrics }
>>
Hope this helps,
Carl
