I am finding certain aspects of Lilypond's syntax a little cryptic. Specifically
- what is the difference between
     \context Lyrics=xxxx

This creates an instance of a Lyrics context, i.e. a lyrics line.

     \context { \Lyrics  ....... }

This can only appear within a \layout{...} block and is a redefinition
of what all Lyrics contexts in the score do, see the chapter on
Changing Defaults.
