Well..

!!

Magic.. Thank You!

In other words, in a "real world's score" this trick helps (and it's
enough) for tenor's lyrics (with alignAboveContents), but for alto's i
need to add also this:

\override VerticalAxisGroup
   #'non-affinity-spacing = #'((stretchability . 0) (space . 0))

I am not sure that i am quite happy with all spacings (i need to look
carefully, two results --- 2.12.3 and this --- page by page), but this
aligned lyrics, definitely.

I will try and check more, i hope.

Thank You, Neil!!

ps. Is this a question of defaults? Hardly believe, but...
Or rather some issue with spacings?..
