It is a piano double-staff with two lyrics lines. Here is the example:

\version "2.6.5"

      upperpart =            
         \relative c'' {
         \clef treble
         \key c \major
         \time 7/8
         \tempo 4=135

         \set Staff.midiInstrument = "accordion"          
       % bar 1         
         c,8\mf g' g g4 g | 
         g8 fis g f4 e |  
         aes8 aes aes g4 f | f8 e f g4. r8 | \break
      }
         
      lowerpart = \relative c {
          
         \clef bass
         \key c \major
         \time 7/8

         \set Staff.midiInstrument = "acoustic grand"
       % bar 1  
         g4\p r8 <c e> r <c e> r | <d b> r4 <c a> <c g> | 
         e4. c4 a | g'8 f e d4. r8 | 
     }
     
     lyrone = \lyricmode {
       \override Score.RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup #'remove-first = ##f  
       % Stanza one Empty:
         \skip 2.. \skip 2.. \skip 2.. \skip 2.. 
     }

     lyrtwo = \lyricmode {
       % bar 1
         Bo8 -- i8 na8 bo4 -- i4 
         tzvi8 -- yat8 ha8 -- che4 -- med4
         be8 -- ged8 shel8 tal4 lav4 -- 
         shu8 ha8 -- sa8 -- dot4. \skip 8
     } 
             
    \score {
       \context GrandStaff <<
         \context Staff = upper { 
             \context Voice = singer {
                  \autoBeamOff
                  \upperpart } }
         \new Lyrics \lyricmode { \set associatedVoice = #"singer" \lyrone }
         \new Lyrics \lyricmode { \set associatedVoice = #"singer" \lyrtwo }
         \context Staff = lower <<
             \clef bass
             \lowerpart 
         >>
       >>
       \layout { indent = 0.0\cm
         \context { \GrandStaff \accepts "Lyrics" }
         \context { \Lyrics 
           \consists "Bar_engraver" 
           \remove "Hara_kiri_engraver"
           } 
       }
       \midi { 
       \tempo 4=135 }
    }

       \paper {
         footsep = 2\cm
         raggedlastbottom = ##t
       }

Are you really really sure that this is the only thing you changed. I 
cannot see any reason why it would have such an effect. Could you send 
a small example to the mailing list?
