Not too much time; you already had things set up very well to allow the
changes to be made easily. It's just easier to see the structure if you
have fewer notes and lyrics...

I'm not sure exactly why the \new Voice = "sopra_repeat" doesn't cause the
lyrics to start at the beginning of the repeat. I'd guess it has to do
with having the \new Voice inside an automatically generated Voice context
(when you put \soprano inside the Staff, a Voice is created. And then you
create a new Voice inside that automatically-created Voice, so I assume
things get confused.
I ran a little test to see the differences between using \set
associatedVoice and \lyricsto. I can make them both work. See the
attached code. But not that in both cases, I separate the notes from the
contexts, and I explicitly create my contexts, which I think is good
practice.
