Ok. The commands:

\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{bco}

and

\font\myfont = bcor8r scaled 1000

seem to be equivalent; that is, they both give me the same font when I 
run pdflatex on .tex file.

So, shouldn't

\context {
  \LyricsContext
  \override LyricText #'font-name = #"bcor8r"
}

give me the same font?

It works in the .dvi file, but is replaced by Courier in the .ps and 
.pdf files. Even running it manually through dvips produces the same result.

Thanks for your help in this; you've helped me to understand a few 
TeX-specific things.
