To define identifiers containing lyrics, the function \lyricmode
must be used. You do not have to enter durations though, if you add
\addlyrics
or \lyricsto
when invoking your identifier.
verseOne = \lyricmode { Joy to the world the Lord is come } \score { << \new Voice = "one" \relative c'' { \autoBeamOff \time 2/4 c4 b8. a16 g4. f8 e4 d c2 } \addlyrics { \verseOne } >> }
For different or more complex orderings, the best way is to setup the hierarchy of staves and lyrics first, e.g.,
\new ChoirStaff << \new Voice = "soprano" { music } \new Lyrics = "sopranoLyrics" { s1 } \new Lyrics = "tenorLyrics" { s1 } \new Voice = "tenor" { music } >>
and then combine the appropriate melodies and lyric lines
\context Lyrics = sopranoLyrics \lyricsto "soprano" the lyrics
The final input would resemble
<<\new ChoirStaff << setup the music >> \lyricsto "soprano" etc \lyricsto "alto" etc etc >>
