Thanks again for all the "tricks of the trade".  I'll play around with the 
scheme notation - it is time I learned more about that.

BTW, the reason the lyrics are self-timed is because there are some alternate 
phrasings in the melody.  Please see measure 14 where we have two extra notes 
to be used with some of the verses.  I don't know how I'd handle that with 
\addlyrics or \lyricsto.  For that matter, the way I added the extra notes is 
probably a hack, but I haven't found the proper way to do that yet.

There is a lot to learn, and that is a big part of what makes it fun for me.
