You can get this to work by just replacing every occurence of "one" with
"1" (including quote marks).  The reason is that << ... \\ ... >> uses
the voices "1" and "2", and in that manner, your \lyricto "1" will still
have one reference to cling while the voices are split.

I am not sure that the \voiceOne settings will be both heeded as well as
reverted by this construct: too lazy to try.
