Thank you, Erik I had figured out that with the help of the archives. I made a similar construct that worked, and I had to use \oneVoice afterwards. It seems like Context & Lyrics are sort of a stumbling block for beginners in Lilypond. I wonder how could we write a "Tutorial for Dummies" in this part, perhaps I'll pitch in in a near future.
One thing that confuses me is that in lyricmode we are supposed to specify durations for each lyric syllable (Lilypond.pdf v. 2.7.16), but in many instances you can do without.
