The failed bar-check is only a symtom ...
If you want those lyric-durations to have more meaning then a comment,
you can't use \lyricsto.
\lyricsto assigns lyrics to the notes of the associated Voice,
_ignoring_ the given duration.
Thus bar-checks may fail. Actually your lyrics has seven syllables for
eight notes of the associated voice.
If you _want_ to use \lyricsto then you need to create a melisma for
Two4 versus two eight notes of the Voice.
One method:
eighthNotes = {
c'8 8 \melisma 8 \melismaEnd 8 \break
c'8 8 8 8
c'8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
}
Cheers,
