Another thing came to mind: I usually do multiple verses like this
a bit differently, using \skip in the lyrics. The equivalent of my
previous example using that method would be:
\version "2.18.2"
\score {
<<
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "soprano" \relative c' {
e4 d c d e e e r
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" {
Ma -- ry had a lit -- tle lamb
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" {
\repeat unfold 4 { \skip 1 }
laz -- er bat,
}
>>
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "bass" \relative c {
\clef bass
c4 c g' g a a g r
}
>>
>>
}
(Actually you can see by the vertical spacing it's not exactly the
same, though arguably this way produces a better looking result.)
It's a bit more "fiddly" in that you have to count the number of
skipped beats, but it is perhaps easier to understand.
