Hi David,

Alternatively, you can use \set associatedVoice to switch voices, or
yet again, a NullVoice, which is somewhat similar to the suggestion below.
These have the advantage of not affecting any MIDI you might require.
Yes, \set associatedVoice is handy sometimes, good idea :-).
If you have no reason to stick with 2.18.2, you can \addlyrics to
the staff, ie both voices. I've commandeered the revised version
to illustrate.
That's really interesting - I must have missed that change. To wit:
\version "2.19"
\new Staff <<
\relative { c''4 b c2 } \\
\relative { g'2 e4 c4 } \\
>> \addlyrics { One two three four. }
Amazing. Thanks!
And another clarification: \addlyrics \with { ... } is also a
construction that needs current Lilypond. 2.18.2 knows \addlyrics but
doesn't accept context modification by \with. Try compiling
\version "2.18.2"
\new Staff \relative { c'4 d e2 }
\addlyrics { I will work. }
\new Staff \relative { c'4 d e2 }
\addlyrics \with { \override LyricText.font-size = 5 }
{ Will I work? }
with 2.18.2 and 2.20.
The words needed some syllables added, as there has
to be a one for each and every moment (a note in either part).
Otherwise, just the upper part of the ChoirStaff needed modification.
Ah, if I understand correctly, that is the drawback of the \new Staff {
... } \addlyrics approach?
Best
