In this file (below) I have tried to follow your example using predefined

Everything works as expected until I started adding more unsung/sung sections 
when the subsequent words became shifted downwards at each appearance. 
Apparently LP is seeing them as new Verses(?). Is there a simple solution to 
allow each occurrence of words to be aligned, or must one use extra-offsets and 
trial and error to align them?

My immediate reaction was to "keep it simple" by minimising the number of 
voices:

\score {
\new Staff<<  {
\new Voice = "unsung"  { \unsungmelodyA }
\new Voice = "sung" { \sungmelodyOne }
\context Voice = "unsung" { \unsungmelodyB }
\context Voice = "sung" { \sungmelodyTwo }
\context Voice = "unsung" { \unsungmelodyC }
\context Voice = "sung" { \sungmelodyThree }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto  "sung" {\wordsA \wordsB \wordsB }

}

Unfortunately, this completely omits all except the first set of words, for 
reasons that are not apparent to me.

Best wishes,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
The revised syntax provided by Eluze fixes the way the words are aligned. (See one of the other posts in this thread.) All I have to do now is figure out some real-world uses for this construct - any ideas?
:)
Would it be possible for me to contact you directly by phone - since we both seem to be here in NZ? Reply off-list if you think so.
Regards
Bill
