Hmmm, interesting. I find that referring to "1" and "2" *almost* does
what is needed:

\score {
  <<  \context Voice = "melody" { \relative c' { c c c c | c } }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { we shall o- ver- come } >> }
    
\score {
  <<  \context Voice = "melody" { \relative c' { c c8 e c4 c | c } }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { we shall not o- ver- come } >> }

\score {
  <<  \context Voice = "melody" { 
    \relative c' { c 
      << {\voiceOne c8 e} \\ {\voiceTwo c4} >> 
     \oneVoice c4 c | c 
     } 
  }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { we o- ver- come } 
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" { shall not } 
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "2" { shall } 
    >>
}


The third score correctly combines the first two (although the split
lyrics are typeset one line too low). But that trick only works once
for a part -- the next assignment to "1" would put yet another line of
lyrics under the same split note, rather than the next one. Can notes
and text be associated closer somehow to avoid this?
