I thnk I’m close, and posted on Stackoverflow, but can’t seem to get a hidden 
melody working to show alternate lyrics. The following just shows both voices 
and neither of the “associated” (or not) stanzas.


melody = \relative c' {
      \clef treble
      \key c \major
      \time 4/4
      c4 d e f | g f e d |
  
      <<
     \new Voice = "shown" {
      \relative c' { 
      c4 d c d | e f g2
         }
        }  
    
      \new Voice = "hidden" {
       \hide { 
      c'8 c d d c c d d | e f g2
         }
        }
      >>
    }
    
    text =  \lyricmode {
       Here we have a | li -- tle si -- lly
  
      <<
        {
          \set stanza = #"1. "
          Si -- lly li -- tle | al -- pha -- bet

        \new Lyrics {
          \set associatedVoice = "hidden"
          \set stanza = #"2. " 
          Si -- ly li -- tle fu -- nny soun -- ding |
          Al -- pha -- bet song.
            }
        }
      >>
      }

    \score {
      <<
        \new Voice = "one" { \melody }
        \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text
      >>
    
      \layout { }
      \midi { }
    }

Some direction would be welcome (needless to say).

(And WOW - what an amazing program.
