Re: \skip substitute in lyrics?

Hi Alberto

> Is there any way to compact this kind of construct?

The simplest way is probably

sopWordsB = \lyricmode {
  \repeat "unfold" 48 { \skip 4 }
  Re- cor- da- ...
}

Of course, there are more complicated ways as well (using \set  
associatedVoice, etc.).

Hope this helps!
