Ok, I found those... but I still have a question.

When I want to make several stanza's, I need to make seperate lyrics for 
them, i.e. (to copy from your example)

sopWordsA = \lyrics { hi4 hi hi hi  }
sopWordsB = \lyrics { HI4 HI HI HI  }

Then, I tried this (later on in the example file):
   ...
     \context Lyrics = sopLyrs { s1 }
   ...
     \addlyrics
       \context Staff = women \context Voice = VA { \voiceOne \sopMusic }
       \context Lyrics = "sopLyrs-1" { \property Lyrics . stanza = "1."
           \sopWordsA }
     \addlyrics
       \context Lyrics = "sopLyrs-2" { \property Lyrics . stanza = "2."
           \sopWordsB }

...but this puts the Soprano text at the _bottom_ of the score. And the 
Alto lyrics are missing.

I must be mising something obvious (a brain, for instance), but what is 
it? I tried putting the 2 Lyrics contexts
into { }, but this gives me only 1 stanza ... at the bottom. But, the 
Alto lyrics are there, this time :-)

Putting
   \context Lyrics = "sopLyrs-1" { s1 }
   \context Lyrics = "sopLyrs-2" { s1 }

near the top of the StaffGroup gives me
1.
1. hi hi hi hi
2.
2. HI HI HI HI

at the top of the score...  And the Alto lyrics are missing _again_.

Again, I may be missing a brain here, but can anyone give me a clue 
about this?
