Re: lyrics collision (and thanks to Peter)
Aha, thank you, that makes sense (and it works to boot).

That's because (IIUC) LilyPond tries to align the lyrics with the
first Voice it founds. In case you want to add different lyrics, with
different rhythm, to another melody (hence another Voice, whether it's
on the same Staff or not), you have to explicitly specify which is the
relevant associatedVoice (see below). By the way, giving names to your
contexts is a good principle, but as Lyrics are associated to a Voice
(not a Staff), you'd better introduce your vocal staves with
\new Voice = soprano
or
\new Staff = sopStaff \new Voice = soprano
instead of what you're using:
\new Voice = soprano
Good luck!

lyrics collision (and thanks to Peter)
Thanks Peter for your response earlier, it got me working!
For the life of me I can't figure out why the lyrics in the bass line
collide in the following snippet (below).
If I use only the bass line, it looks fine - but when combined with the
soprano line, I get strange collisions and stuff. It looks like the bass
lyrics are trying to align with the soprano lyrics, and I don't know why.
Any pointers?
