Have you considered exporting the mp3's with the lyrics already embedded?
It's what I do, that way my mp3's work in laptops, iPad/iPhones (iTunes will display embedded lyrics, but not synced, yet) and keyboards with lyric displays whether the .txt is around or not.
It's only a quick step at the end of the process ('export current' and select mp3 as format) and you can forget about aliases from then on out!
My post about using tracks with vocals to give a guide .txt for no vocal tracks would work in the same way with different mixes for the same song. Simply duplicate the original .txt and change its name to the name of the alternate mix track (from song.txt to songNoBass.txt, for instance), open in QMIDI and do an 'export current' and the job is done.
Yes, not QUITE as convenient as using one .txt for them all (although you have to name the alternate mixes identically to the original, so there's always the risk of mixing them up), but at least they work regardless of device or usage... And you don't have to redo the timing, simply change name and re-export.
For me, having the confidence that, down the line, no matter what device I use, no matter how I change my file architecture, no matter anything, those lyrics will forever be associated with the file is worth the little bit of extra time it takes...
