Where is the asterisk supposed to sit?
Horizontal: Just to the right of the last cantor-only word? Just to the left of
the first choir word? Centred between those words?
Vertical: Centered? On the text baseline?

When I start with this really simple snippet, it seems (as I understand it)
that we’re already close:
%%%
\version "2.19.84"
music = {
a' g'
a'( g')
a' g'
a'( g')
}
words = \lyricmode {
Some \set stanza = "*"
words \set stanza = "*"
to go under my notes
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "mel" { \music }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" { \words }
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
timing = ##f
\omit BarLine
\omit Stem
}
}
}
%%%
More solution(s) when I understand more about the problem(s). =)
Cheers,
Kieren.
