I've now been sent a copy of the lilypond code in text format: please use
this in any future questions.
Lilypond does not handle temporary voices and lyrics terribly well. I would
suggest 2 potential solutions: a) use explicit voices for all your
polyphonal parts, with spacer rests where they do not sing, or b) look at
the use of NullVoice in the Notation Reference.

Subject: SATB polyphonic lyrics problems
I am brand new to Lilypond. I have tried and tried to figure out how to code
SATB four staves of polyphony with different notes, durations and lyrics,
but while I am close, some of the lyrics fall to the very bottom of the
score and will not stick to the staff that I want them to.
Sorry if the example is long, but I must learn :
1) how to code what I want
2) where to put the commands properly
The lyrics in CAPITALS are for voice two (i.e., soprano 2, alto 2 )
They are aligned correctly, meaning they are directly under the proper
notes, but not attached to the correct staff.
If someone could correct my code in CAPITALS so I can see exactly what you
have done, I will be able to engrave my music.
thanks.
