It does work AND gives me loads of warnings, yes :-)

Thanks for the pointer. However, for some reason the stanza numbers 
don't work well, they don't line up properly. I have a testcase (fairly 
large, unfortunately), which shows the problem. Any insight in this 
would be VERY welcome:

\version "2.2.5"

\paper {
 \context { \StaffContext minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-3 . 3) }
}

sopNotesPartOne = \context Voice = sopNotesPartOne \notes \relative c'' {
 c4 d e c  c d e c
}
                
sopNotesPartTwo = \context Voice = sopNotesPartTwo \notes \relative c'' {
 e4 f g2  e4 f g2
}               

sopNotesPartThree = \context Voice = sopNotesPartThree \notes \relative 
c'' {
 g'8 a g f e4 c4  g'8 a g f e4 c4
}

sopLyricsPartOne = \context Lyrics = A \lyrics {
 Va- der Ja- cob, va- der Ja- cob
}       
        
sopLyricsFirstStanza = \context Lyrics = A \lyrics {
 \set stanza = "1. "
 Slaapt gij nog, slaapt gij nog?
}

sopLyricsSecondStanza = \context Lyrics = B \lyrics {
 \set stanza = "2. "
 Zo- maar iets, zo- maar wat
}

sopLyricsPartThree = \context Lyrics = A \lyrics {
 Al- le klok- ken lui- den, al- le klok- ken lui- den
}


altoNotesPartOne = \context Voice = altoNotesPartOne \notes \relative c' {
 c4 d e c  c d e c
}                       

altoNotesPartTwo = \context Voice = altoNotesPartTwo \notes \relative c' {
 e4 f g2  e4 f g2
}
                        
altoNotesPartThree = \context Voice = altoNotesPartThree \notes 
\relative c' {
 g'8 a g f e4 c4  g'8 a g f e4 c4
}

altoLyricsPartOne = \context Lyrics = C \lyrics {
 Va- der Ja- cob, va- der Ja- cob
}
        
altoLyricsFirstStanza = \context Lyrics = C \lyrics {
 \set stanza = "1. "
 Slaapt gij nog, slaapt gij nog?
}

altoLyricsSecondStanza = \context Lyrics = D \lyrics {
 \set stanza = "2. "
 Zo- maar iets, zo- maar wat
}

altoLyricsPartThree = \context Lyrics = C \lyrics {
 Al- le klok- ken lui- den, al- le klok- ken lui- den
}


\score {
 \context ChoirStaff <<
  \override Score.BarNumber #'padding = #'2

  \context Staff = soprano {
   \set Staff.instrument = "Soprano "
   \clef violin
   \context Voice = A {
    \sopNotesPartOne
    \sopNotesPartTwo
    \sopNotesPartThree

  }
  \lyricsto sopNotesPartOne \new Lyrics \sopLyricsPartOne
  \lyricsto sopNotesPartTwo <<
   \context Lyrics = A { \sopLyricsFirstStanza }
   \context Lyrics = B { \sopLyricsSecondStanza }

   \set Staff.instrument = "Alto"
   \clef violin
   \context Voice = C {

    \altoNotesPartTwo
