Thanks, Xavier, for the instructions for lyrics above the staff - I'd
tried multiple times to do this without success!
There's always a solution with LilyPond!

Hello,
That would have been my suggestion as well, especially if you want the
sticking to be horizontally aligned.

I've had difficulties putting lyrics above the drum staff when not
using markups like ^"R". Perhaps someone else can show how that's
achieved?
Simply put the Lyrics contexts above the DrumStaff context.
\score {
<<
\new Lyrics {
\LyricsOne
}
\new Lyrics {
\LyricsTwo
}
\new DrumStaff {
<<
\new DrumVoice {
\voiceTwo
\Drums
}
>>
}
>>
}
It is also possible to use alignAboveContext, this is especially
useful if you use \lyricsto (with the lyrics after the DrumStaff
containing the DrumVoice) so that you do not need to add explicit
durations to the lyrics/sticking.
Kind regards,
Xavier
