As far as I can tell, \lyricsto does not have a direct way to specify a
limited scope, since you only get to provide the name of the context.
To restrict alignment to only a particular subset of notes within a
Voice, you would need to explicitly separate out those notes into their
own named context to use with \lyricsto.
LilyPond provides a NullVoice context that makes it easy to include such
an extraction of notes to be used just for timing but not display. I
use this feature quite a bit, mainly because I also use \partcombine
which is not compatible with \lyricsto; but that is another story.
