Oh dear, I did some testing yesterday, and I thought I had it figured out 
following Carl's model above, but today I tried adding lyrics, and I get an 
error: " programming error: Moment is not increasing.  Aborting 
interpretation." I have tried to make a sample following the model above, and 
for simplicity's sake I have brought it down to a single clef. Try this and it 
will work beautifully (I'm on 2.16.2 and Mac OS 10.8.5) :

\version "2.16.2"

sopVerse = \relative c' {
  \time 3/4
  \voiceOne
  c4^"Verses" <c d> <c e>
}

altoVerse = \relative c' {
  \voiceTwo
  c4 s2
}

sopChorus = \relative f' {
  \voiceOne
  f4^"Chorus" <f g> <f a>
}

altoChorus = \relative f' {
  \voiceTwo
  f4 s2
}

\score {
  \new Staff = "top" \relative c' {
    <<
      \new Voice = "sopVerse" { \sopVerse }
      \new Voice = "altoVerse" { \altoVerse }
    % \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopVerse" { one two three }
    >>
    <<
      \new Voice = "sopChorus" { \sopChorus }
      \new Voice = "altoChorus" { \altoChorus }
    % \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopChorus" { four five six }
    >>
  }
}

That works like you would expect, but uncomment the two "\new Lyrics" lines and 
it will cause the error. Is there something wrong with the way it is laid out? 
I tried really hard to mimic Carl's model, and I can't find that I'm missing 
anything.
