Organization of vocal scores

[Benedict Singer]

Hi all,

As I prepare to start on my second major vocal piece, I'm wondering if there's 
a nicer way to organize the lilypond file. My issue is that when I'm looking at 
the score to make corrections or tweaks, I mentally reference things based off 
the words. Lilypond, however, bases it off the notes, and so every time I want 
to change something I need to find the notes that the words are associated 
with. It gets worse when I need to do something in all 4 voice parts, as I need 
to find the same point in 4 different note collections. I could put comments 
throughout the notes sections indicating where various points in the lyrics are 
in relation to the notes - is this the best/only way to link them? I'm also 
looking at LilyPad (I'm on OS X), but it seems that I could organize the source 
better, rather than relying on the editor. Any tips/best-practices for larger, 
multi-part vocal music are much appreciated! Thanks!
