imo it is a question of synchronising & visualising the input of 2 ore more
"voices" (in a general way)
one way is to put both in a table, the first row being the melody, the
second row the lyrics. then you can c&p each to the corresponding ly-file.
if you are not happy with spreadsheet tools you can do the same with an
editor allowing to edit two synchronized files (in vertical scrolling); that
way you could have the melody in the left and the lyric text in the right
window (which are both included somewhere in your main score).
(of course you can also use one line per measure)
hope these ideas are helpful!
