Putting lyrics in a score is easy, as long as you don't want to generate a
bunch of segments with lyrics to put together.

AssociatedVoice works best (maybe only) with lyrics that have durations
added.

There needs to be some development work to really make this idea work
properly.  It's on my todo list, but will be a while before I get to it.

See  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.general/37493
for a template that shows how to place lyrics in a lead sheet,
and see the templates section of the Learning Manual for several examples of
mixing lyrics and staffs.
