I think \lyricsto is a shorthand for \lyricmode { \set assosiatedVoice ... }
so:
text = \lyricsto "alto" {
bla bla bla
}
is equivalent to:
text = \lyricmode {
\set associatedVoice = "alto"
bla bla bla
}
Both do not explicitly create an Lyrics context, so you still need to create
one:
\new Lyrics \text
Most times I use \lyricsto and I put the lyricsto in the \score section, like:
soprano = \relative c' {
c d e f g
}
sopranoText = \lyricmode {
bla bli ble blo blu
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \new Voice = "mel" \soprano
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" \sopranoText
>>
}
best regards,
