Lyric Font Changes Over Multiple Staves

[Warren Stickney]

I have a problem in changing the lyric font over more than just the upper
voice.

If I put the font change command in my VoiceDefault section it changes the
font of the upper voice only.

And if I put the font change command within the lower voice, only, it
doesn't change the lower voice lyric, but actually changes the upper voice.

I am using Lily 1.6.8 with Cygwin.

A truncated and voice reduced version of my LY file is as follows:

\version "1.6.8"
\include "paper20.ly"
\include "english.ly"

\header {
 composer = "\\textit {Claudio Monteverdi}"
 crossRefNumber = "1"
 footnotes = ""
 tagline = "Lily 1.6.8"
 title = "\\Huge \\textit {Bevea Fillide mia}"
      subtitle = "(My Phyllis drank)"
      head = "\\footnotesize \\textit {Monteverdi: Bevea Fillide mia}"
}

global = \notes {
\key c \major
\time 3/1
\repeat unfold 6 {\skip 1*3}
\time 4/2 \tempo 2=50
\repeat unfold 3 {\skip 2*4}
\bar "|"
}

VoiceDefault = \notes {
%   \property Score.defaultBarType="empty"
\property Score.skipBars = ##t
\property Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t
\property Staff.autoBeaming = ##f
\property Score.BarNumber \override #'padding = #2
\property Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-3 . 3)
%   \property LyricsVoice.LyricText \override#'font-name = #"cmbx12"
}

                                                    >

         \paper {
                  textheight = 22.0\cm
                  interscoreline = 12.0\mm
                  interscorelinefill = 1
                }
         \midi { \tempo 2=100 }
}


What am I doing wrong, can anyone help please. Is my problem context
related?
