Hi there,
The first word (Lyrics) is not aligned correctly as it is bellow the
clef instead of being bellow or "in" the music.
Is this an error or am-I using it wrong?
I see this happening often e.g. in musicals where lyrics are important
for the violin player.

Learning Scheme is complete overkill for my Lilypond needs but
I will probably learn it anyway just because it seems fun.
I think Lilypond would greatly benefit from a way of defining
simple macros that would enable one to just write something

The hack is rather simple -
Upbow (it's not bowup after all) is perfect as far as the shape goes, the
only problem is that it appears above a note rather than before one.
So you have to shift it to the left:
\property Voice.Script \override #'extra-offset = #'(-2 . 0)
c-\upbow
