From the original, I think there are in fact 2 different scores: one 
with the refrain, one with the stanza. It would also be a solution to 
split your lilypond source into two different \score{ }s. This also 
solves the apparent timing issues -- however, not how refrain and stanza 
attach.

Like so (just in one file):

refrain = \relative c' {
  clef, key, time, ...
  ... notes of the upper staff ...
}

melody = \relative c' {
  clef, key, time, ...
  ... notes of lower 2 staves ...
}

\score {
   \new Staff \refrain
   \layout {
      % mimic appearance of original
      indent = #'0
      ragged-right = ##f
   }
}

\score {
   \new Staff \melody
   \layout {
      indent = #'0
   }
}

   Bar checks are very useful. Please don't do without them.
