I am not sure if I understand you. How would you attach lyrics to
several voices in the same context?

What I do is shown here [like 1]:

    \new ChoirStaff <<
      \new Staff \soprano
      \addlyrics \text
      \new Staff \alto
      \addlyrics \text
      \new Staff { \clef "treble_8" \tenor }
      \addlyrics \text
      \new Staff { \clef "bass" \bass }
      \addlyrics \text
    >>

Or the same with
      \new Staff \new Voice = "soprano" \soprano
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \text
etc.

So each staff has its own lyrics context but the content is the same
variable. That works. In principle, the information about where to put
extender lines is already given by the number of notes per syllable.

Cheers,
Joram
