It's due to the \lyrics:

>         \new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" \sopranoLyrics

This can just be removed.  Some other simplifications
give this:

sopranoMusic = \relative c' {
 c4 d e f g a b c b a g f e d c
}

sopranoLyrics = \lyricmode {
 do re mi fa sol la ti do
}

ossia = \relative c''' {
 \stopStaff s1
 \startStaff g4 a b c
 \stopStaff
}

soprano = <<
 \context Staff = "top" {
   \new Voice = "1"
   \sopranoMusic
 }
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" \sopranoLyrics
 \new Staff \with {
   alignAboveContext = #"top"
   fontSize = #-2
   \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -2)
   \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
   \override Clef #'transparent = ##t
 }
