stanza numbers and rest

[Thomas Willhalm]

Hello,

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or an (undocumented) feature.
If a song starts with a rest, the stanza numbers (or name of singers)
are not printed. The following example shows it:
    \score {
     \addlyrics
       \notes \relative c'' \context Voice = duet { \time 3/4
          r4 g4 e4 a2 f4 g2.  }
       \lyrics \context Lyrics <
       \context LyricsVoice = "duet-1" {
         \property LyricsVoice . stanza = "Bert"
         Hi, my name is bert.    }
       \context LyricsVoice = "duet-2" {
         \property LyricsVoice . stanza = "Ernie"
         Ooooo, ch\'e -- ri, je t'aime. }
       >
     }

(Starting a song with a rest is not my invention. The original
print does this, too.)

Best regards 
Thomas
