I just realized that I could probably use the technique mentioned in
    
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics
    Polyphony with shared lyrics
like
    \new NullVoice = "aligner" \aligner
but that will add yet another layer of complexity (or let's better
call it "yet another repetition of the same thing and yet another
option where things could go wrong") to the already annoyingly
error-prone way of entering button names.

(It would be really awesome if I could enter button names and finger
numbers right next to the music itself.)
