Hu, You are very close to the solution!
Your \new Voice inside the alternative is an expression that gets the value of the very next block surrounded by curly braces (and only the first one). That's why the 'alt' lyrics does not fill the second alternative. Also, you obtain 'sol' vertically aligned with the second line of lyrics, it should be another lyrics context and it should be vertically aligned with the first one (as there is plenty of room for it). If I find more time I'll make an example based on yours, it needs few touches now. -- Francisco Vila.
