Burden and Volta with Coventry Carol

Hi Folks,

I'm getting Christmas carols ready for December 2012.

In this case, the "Coventry Carol".

I don't know how to arrange for 2 blocks of lyrics: a "burden" (a
front-loaded chorus), followed by three stanzas.

I explain my problem here, with .ly and .pdf files.

A .gif model is here (with slightly different interpretation of accidentals).

(Probably the 1591 MS that everyone works from didn't clearly mark accidentals.)

If I use "volta" for the stanza section, how do I get the stanzas to
print only inside the volta?

I borrowed a "\context Voice = sopverse" [SopranoVerse] from another
LilyPond file (version 2.6.3); even so, the stanzas start at the
beginning, rather than at the \context point.

The "burden" over-writes the first stanza
"Two simultaneous lyric events, junking this one"

Maybe there's a simple line of instructions I need to add.

Maybe I need to completely rethink the way I structure my files.

Thanks in advance,
