Change from staff to lyrics to chords
What I want to achieve, for example, is to start with a single staff, change to chordmode somewhere, and change to lyrics somewhere later.

Like this:

The only way, I found, is to use a markup block. But it is cumbersome and does not handle line breaks.

version "2.18.2"

markup {
general-align #Y #CENTER
{
score { new Staff { relative c' { c4 d e f } } layout {} }
hspace #-8
score { new ChordNames { chordmode { c4 d:m e:m f} } layout { } }
column { line { "Some text." } }
}
}

I would recommend to ask on the LilyPond user list.

You can fiddle around with stuff like

version "2.18.2"

new Staff with { accepts "ChordNames" accepts "Lyrics" }
{
relative c' { c4 d e f }
stopStaff
chords { c d:m e:m f }
lyrics { "Some text." }
}

but once you start having more detailed needs (like adjusting alignment and sizes and other stuff), any solution is going to need a discussion and will turn out so specific to your needs that Stackexchange is the wrong place for it.
