Lyrics above/below on the fly

Hi List,

I'm working on a project where the composer wants both singing voices on the same staff (it's a call-and-response thing), but such that whenever "voice 1" is singing, stems and lyrics are down, and whenever "voice 2" is singing, they're up. 

I can switch stem direction with \stemUp and \stemDown, and I can use \set Staff.instrumentName to change the name as well. But is there some command to change the lyrics' vertical placement so-to-speak on the fly? With a single voice? Usince \set Lyrics.alignAboveContext = "staff" doesn't seem to work.

Or is there some smarter way to do this, maybe using partcombine or something?

Thanks for the help!
