Yes, that's a neat trick that 2.18.2 couldn't do, fitting lyrics to
the total staff rather than just a voice.

Without exactly working through the interaction with staff as opposed
to voice, you should know that "\one one" has never worked: the
set associated voice command has to be placed one syllable *earlier*
than the point in the lyrics where it takes effect. I assume there are
good reasons for this and that it won't change.

See if making that change has the desired effect.
