Re: Two addit. lyrics lines -- how to make centered?

[Mats Bengtsson]

The general ideas are described in the section on Divisi lyrics. I 
actually sent
an explanation on how it works earlier today in an email entitled 
"lyrics and \skip"
that hasn't made it to the mailing list archives yet.

My guess is that the following modified version of your \score block
gives what you want:

   \score {
       \new Staff = "tenor" <<
           \new Voice = "tenvoice" {
               \melody
           }
           \new Lyrics = tenlyr \lyricsto tenvoice \mainwords
           \new Lyrics = tenlyrup
                \with {
                      alignAboveContext = tenor
                }
           \lyricsto tenorup \upperwords
           \context Lyrics = tenlyr \lyricsto tenorlo \lowerwords
       >>
   }
