Hi,
I'll soon have to run for my regular job, so I limit my reply to
alignAbove/BelowContext.

If I use the command - alignBelowContext = "Upper" - on the Lyrics to verse3
and verse4, then the texts switch place.

Why is this
happening?
In short, because you told LilyPond to do so ;)
More verbose (with pseudo code), look at what you did and how LilyPond
understands it:
(1) you typed:
Staff
Lyrics1
Lyrics2
Lyrics3
Lyrics4
(2) then you told to place Lyrics1 right above Staff:
Lyrics1 align-right-above-Staff
Staff
Lyrics2
Lyrics3
Lyrics4
(3) then you told to place Lyrics2 right above Staff:
Lyrics1
Lyrics2 align-right-above-Staff
Staff
Lyrics3
Lyrics4
(4) then you told to place Lyrics3 right below Staff (same output as before):
Lyrics1
Lyrics2
Staff
Lyrics3 align-right-below-Staff
Lyrics4
(5) then you told to place Lyrics4 right below Staff
Lyrics1
Lyrics2
Staff
Lyrics4 align-right-below-Staff
Lyrics3
All done as specified.
Maybe someone can step in for the spacing, I'll be back in the evening.

Harm,
Thank you for your clear reply! This is starting to making more sense to
me.
(5) then you told to place Lyrics4 right below Staff
Lyrics1
Lyrics2
Staff
Lyrics4 align-right-below-Staff
Lyrics3
Since the VerticalAxisGroup is still set to nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing
for Verse4, any changes to the padding push Verse3 below it (a nonstaff
object) up or down. Correct? And, if I then change the VerticalAxisGroup
setting to nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing for Verse4, then it moves up or
down in relation to the staff.
I still don't understand the behavior of the padding variable for some
of the lyric lines.
Changed code copied below:
If I delete all of the alignAbove/BelowContext settings so that the
lyric lines are all below the staff, and reset Lyrics1 to
nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing and Lyrics2, 3, and 4 to
nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing, then:
The padding for Verse1 pushes Verse1, and all the other verses, up or
down in relation to the treble staff.
The padding for Verse2 pushes Verse3 and Verse4 up or down. It does not
move in relation to Verse1.
The padding for Verse3 pushes Verse4 up or down.
The padding for Verse4 has no effect.
It seems like Verses2, 3, and 4 are looking down when using the padding
variable. How can I get them to look up to the verses and staff above?
The command - \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = #UP - does
not change the looking down behavior for the padding variable.
Peace,
David
