Trouble with lyric alignment

[onix]

I am a little bit confused about why my lyrics are not printing under
the first note in this piece.  For some reason, they are starting on the
second note.  Any clue?  Another anomaly is that not all the lyrics
printed for this line.  I want to get this cleared up before I go
farther.

lilypond 2.6.0, mandrake 10.1 



 \version "2.6.0"
 upper = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key des \major
\time 3/4
 
\partial 4*3 << {des4} \\ {des4} >>   |  ( ) << { aes2. } \\
{es4( des c)} >>
 }
 
 lower = \relative c {
\clef bass
\key des \major
\time 3/4
 
\partial 4*3( )  << {ges} \\ {ges} >><<
   {aes2.} \\ {c,4( bes aes) } >>
 }
 
 text = \lyricmode {I want "to walk" as a child of the light
 }
 
 \score {
   \context GrandStaff <<
 \context Staff = upper {
 \context Voice = singer \upper }
 \lyricsto "singer" \new Lyrics \text
 \context Staff = lower <<
   \clef bass
   \lower
 >>
   >>
   \layout {
 \context { \GrandStaff \accepts "Lyrics" 
\override SpanBar #'break-visibility =
   #center-invisible }
 \context { \Lyrics \consists "Bar_engraver" }
   }
   \midi { \tempo 4=75 }
 }

piano template key signature and transpose

[onix]

I am using lilypond 2.1.0

I need to transpose piano music I am playing tomorrow morning.
I took the sheet music and entered them into a lilypond
document using the template below as a guide:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/template/out-www/lily-1019401220.ly

1) Where do I insert the key signature command "\key bes \major"?
2) Where do I insert the transpose command "\transpose bes g"?
3) If my time signature were different, where would I insert it?
4) How do I limit this to 4 measures per line?

These questions are in the order of importance.  I have used lilypond
previously using the docs to make instrument parts and scores, but this
is my first attempt at polyphony (piano music).

Dave
