Regarding comment #19:

It would be simpler to start off the scores with a fixed \skip.  The main  
advantage of midiOffset is that you can put it into one generic \midi block  
included in every score related to the project.

Being able to put this sort of synchronization info in a central \midi  
definition rather than into scores individually seems like the least  
error-prone option.

That does not preclude putting it into Score.xxx (via context definition in  
\midi block) when that makes sense, but makes it trickier to think about  
what

\score { \skip 4 \new Score { ...

should do.  Not that skipTypesetting is in a much better situation with  
that case.
