It should be noted, though, that there's a problem if you try to use the 
same trick several times on the same score line, see the example below. 
If there's a line break in between, no such problems appear. This is 
related to Issue 127 (perhaps also to the recently discussed Issue 1309, 
though I haven't followed that thread in detail). In practical scores, 
it seems fairly unlikely that these problems show up.

\score {
 <<
   \new Staff {
     \new Voice = "melody" {
       \relative c'' {
         a4 a a a
         \repeat volta 2 { b4 b b b }
         a4 a a a
         \repeat volta 2 { b4 b b b }
       }
     }
   }
   \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
     Not re -- peat -- ed.
     <<
   {
     The first time words.
   }
   \new Lyrics {
     \set associatedVoice = "melody"
     Sec -- ond time words.
   }
