Pretty close. Just a couple of comments:-
Full-bar rests can be written in general as R1*m/n where m/n is the
time-signature, although for 6/8 you could write "R2.".
Because the chorus is in a separate Lyrics context it will appear below the
verses if they occur on the same line. Either make sure there's a break
between the two or put the final words in the first context, after the first
verse. Or if you have more verses, into whichever one looks best.
Some of the bar checks in the lyrics give errors. No point in using them if
you ignore the warnings.
Otherwise, looks fine. Lots of other structures will give equivalent results -
use whatever works for you, there is no "correct" structure.

Very helpful. Thank you.
I’m still finding it a bit confusing though. The following creates the pdf
output I’m looking for. Is it basically correct syntax-wise?
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key bes \major
\repeat volta 2 {
\time 6/8 e4. fis4 g8 | a4. g4 bes8 |
\time 6/8
\new Voice = "words" {
r4 f4 d | r f f | r2. |% words go to this
}
}
\alternative {
{
r2. |
}
{
r2. |
}
}
% CHORUS
\new Voice = "chorus" {
g4. a | bes g4 a8 | % words go here too, see?
}
}
text = \lyricmode {
<<
{
\set stanza = #"1. "
Words go | to this |
}
\new Lyrics {
\set associatedVoice = "words"
\set stanza = #"2. "
More words | go here |
}
>>
}
chorus = \lyricmode {
Words go | here too, see? |
}
harmonies = \chordmode {
e2.:m7.5- | bes |
bes2. | g:m7 | f:7 |
c:7/e |
c4.:7 d:7 |
g2.:m | g:m |
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\harmonies
}
\new Voice = "one" { \melody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "words" \text
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "chorus" \chorus
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}

Hi Mike
Welcome! First, you need \hideNotes, not \hide. Then the structure you
have doesn't quite work. It's usually easier to have all the lyrics contexts
running from the start rather than starting them part way along - they'll get
their position from the notes. Here's one way of doing it, but you'll find
the stanza number doesn't quite fit.
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 4/4
c4 d e f | g f e d |
<<
\new Voice = "shown" {
\relative c' {
c4 d c d | e f g2
}
}
\new Voice = "hidden" {
\hideNotes { % !!
c'8 c d d c c d d | e f g2
}
}
>>
}
text = \lyricmode {
Here we have a | li -- tle si -- lly
}
wordsOne = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = #"1. "
Si -- lly li -- tle | al -- pha -- bet
}
wordsTwo = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = #"2. "
Si -- ly li -- tle fu -- nny soun -- ding |
Al -- pha -- bet song.
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "one" { \melody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "shown" \wordsOne
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "hidden" \wordsTwo
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}

I thnk I’m close, and posted on Stackoverflow, but can’t seem to get a
hidden melody working to show alternate lyrics. The following just shows both
voices and neither of the “associated” (or not) stanzas.
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 4/4
c4 d e f | g f e d |
<<
\new Voice = "shown" {
\relative c' {
c4 d c d | e f g2
}
}
\new Voice = "hidden" {
\hide {
c'8 c d d c c d d | e f g2
}
}
>>
}
text = \lyricmode {
Here we have a | li -- tle si -- lly
<<
{
\set stanza = #"1. "
Si -- lly li -- tle | al -- pha -- bet
\new Lyrics {
\set associatedVoice = "hidden"
\set stanza = #"2. "
Si -- ly li -- tle fu -- nny soun -- ding |
Al -- pha -- bet song.
}
}
>>
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "one" { \melody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
Some direction would be welcome (needless to say).
(And WOW - what an amazing program.
