yes

        \notes < \context Lyrics = LA { s1 }
                \context Staff = SA  { s1 }
                \addlyrics \context Staff = SA { \thenotes }
                            \context Lyrics = LA { \thetext } >

I think you want

  \context Voice = one { \stemup ...  }

(note the position of the braces)
