Why not

I see that you have reverted to the idea of writing lyrics within a \context Staff{...}, I didn't expect it to work, but obviously it does for some strange reason.
I really recommend you to start using separate variables for the
different parts, I'm sure that you will have large troubles yourself
to understand the structure of your \score{...} if you come back to
it in a couple of months. Using variables, as in the satb.ly example,
you separate the music from the score structure, which makes it easier
to grasp and update./Mats

Ok !
This makes sense. I got it working now. Finally :)
There is one addition I have to make
If you want to make the two staves you have to add another pair of << >>
The code looks like this now:
\score {
\new Choirstaff << \notes
<< \new staff { \context Voice = a { music } } \context Lyrics = la { s1 }
\new staff { \context Voice = b { music } } \context Lyrics = lb { s1 }
>>
\lyrics << \lyricsto "a" \context Lyrics = la { lyrics } \lyricsto "b" \context Lyrics = lb { lyrics } >>
>>
\paper{ }
}
This works :)
It also works if you have one single voiced melody. So the final code for the thing looks like this:
\version "2.2.5"
\header { title = "We wish you a merry Christmas" arranger = "arr. Maurits Lamers" }
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\notes {
\time 3/4

\clef treble

Maybe it can be used as documentation ?? It now obviously shows how it should be put together.
Many, many, many thanks for helping and getting it working :)

Yes I did.
The problem is that when I model it the way of the SATB.ly template, it keeps saying that it is unable to find a Voice.
That warning is usually harmless, just indicating that the voice does not have contain any music at the beginning of the piece. However, the problem in your file was something else (I will send it also to bug-lilypond, since it's clearly an undocumented feature). The following small example illustrates the problem:
\score{ \new ChoirStaff { \context Voice =a \notes \relative c' {c d e f} \lyricsto a \context Lyrics \lyrics{Ly -- rics comes here } } }
If you try it, you'll notice that the lyrics isn't printed and you don't even get a warning. However, if you change it to
\score{ \new ChoirStaff << \context Voice =a \notes \relative c' {c d e f} \lyricsto a \context Lyrics \lyrics{Ly -- rics comes here } >> }
Everything works as expected. What's the difference? Well, in the first example you say that you should have a line of music followed by some lyrics (since you use {...} instead of <<...>>) but at the same time you say that the lyrics should go together with the music. Apparently, this confuses LilyPond (I'm getting more and more convinced that this is a plain bug). In the second example, the use of <<...>> tells LilyPond that the music and lyrics should be simultaneous, which makes more sense to LilyPond. So, your example works if you either move the lyrics into the <<...>> of your \new ChoirStaff{\notes<<...>>} (which can be simplified into \new ChoirStaff\notes<<...>> ) or add another <<...>> : \score{ << \newChoirStaff{...} \lyrics << ... >> >> }
By the way, I hope you have realized that the \lyrics and \notes commands are just used to tell the lexicographic analyzer of the LilyPond frontend that it should switch mode to correspond to the widely different characteristics of the syntax for lyrics and notes, respectively. Also, you can nest these arbitrarily, so you can have a \notes{...} within a \lyrics{...} and vice versa. All this is simplified in the development version.
The other thing is that the SATB.ly template does not work. When I run it through lilypond it keeps saying that there is nothing for lilypond to do.
Is this on Mac or PC? If it's on the Mac, it might possibly be a problem that your browser saves the file using a character coding or line end convention that confuses LilyPond. However, you have these files included in your installation as well. On your PC, you could try to start the cygwin command window and run lilypond /usr/share/doc/lilypond-2.2.5/input/template/satb.ly I'm certain that it will work excellently.
I don't know the directory structure of the Fink installation, but the file should be available at some similar location, together with the other documentation files.
