you forgot to tell V2 what kind of box it should have, see below

as stated in the lyrics paragraphs section of the M-Tx docs (3.3) you
may disable lyrics assignment from a give note by preceding it with an
"empty" lyrics paragraph reference {}. If you need to enable lyrics
agion later in the same music paragraph you may do so by referencing a
labeled lyrics paragraph:
{volta1}

By in-line MusiXTeX. Add an alternative definition of the heighths of
voltaboxes somewhere before the first volta box, for example
%% \def\raisevolta{7\internote}
See MusiXTeX docs section 2.16.1
BTW questions like theese lead me to the following HINT:
Ye M-Tx users see to it that you have *also* the pmx- and MusiXTeX
documentations available!
