5.11.8 Other vocal issue

You can display alternate (or divisi) lyrics by naming voice contexts and attaching lyrics to those specific contexts.

     \score{ <<
       \context Voice = "melody" {
         \relative c' {
           c4
           <<
             { \voiceOne c8 e }
             \context Voice = splitpart { \voiceTwo c4 }
           >>
           \oneVoice c4 c | c
         }
       }
       \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { we shall not o- ver- come }
       \new Lyrics \lyricsto "splitpart" { shall }
     >> }

You can use this trick to display different lyrics for a repeated section.

     \score{ <<
       \context Voice = melody \relative c' {
         c2 e | g e | c1 |
         \context Voice = verse \repeat volta 2 {c4 d e f | g1 | }
         a2 b | c1}
       \lyricsto melody  \context Lyrics = mainlyrics \lyricmode {
         do mi sol mi do
         la si do }
       \lyricsto verse \context Lyrics = mainlyrics \lyricmode {
        do re mi fa sol }
       \lyricsto verse \context Lyrics = repeatlyrics \lyricmode {
        dodo rere mimi fafa solsol }
     >>
     }
