Ah.  Didn't realise you meant for them to be outside all staff definitions. 
I've now changed this to read:

\relative c''{
<<
 \context Staff = "MainStaff"
 \new Voice = "MainVoice" {

which is the only way I can see to put the lyrics so they're not inside a 
\new Staff { } block?  Makes no difference.

No doubt it'll appear in the next few hours.  I said:

"Thanks, Carl (and trusting James sees this too).  You know, I'd swear I
tried that out a number of times without it working, but it does now.

What about if you have 3 \score blocks and want to vary the spacing - making
the 3rd further from the 2nd than the 2nd is from the 1st, for example?"
