This distiction is now clear to me when you said it. But I could not find it
explicitly in the manual. Therefore the chapter naming in 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 should
be changed to a more descriptive one.
I'd rather not mess with the titles... at least, I don't think we should specify
\addlyric and \lyricmode in the titles.
I've added this paragraph to 7.3.2. Does it look good?

There is a difference between @code{\addlyrics} and
@code{\lyricmode}. @code{\addlyrics} and @code {\lyricsto}
ignore all durations and aligns syllables to notes; @code{\lyricmode}
uses the durations specified.
---I guess this part of the docs (bottom of 7.3.1) is false? Should I delete it entirely,
or just modify it in some way?

The \addlyrics command is actually just a convienient way to write a more complicated LilyPond structure that sets up the lyrics. You should use \addlyrics unless you need to do fancy things, in which case you should investigate \lyricsto or \lyricmode.
{ MUSIC }
\addlyrics { LYRICS }
is the same as\context Voice = blah { music }
\lyricsto "blah" \new lyrics { LYRICS }
