skip does work with \lyricsto, but requires a
duration, which is then ignored:
\new Staff = "Soprano" << \new Voice =
"Sop" { \voiceOne c''4 c'' c'' c'' } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Sop" { one two
\skip 1 four } \new Voice = "Alto" { \voiceTwo f'4 f' f' f' } \new Lyrics
\lyricsto "Alto" { \skip 1 \skip 1 three \skip 1 } >>

Subject: Skipping bars in Lyric
Mode
Hello:
I've been trying to set the
music to In the bleak mid-winter by Harold Drake ( 100 Carols for
Choirs ) and I have the following problem:
The first verse is
accompaniment and Soprano, 2nd Verse is SATB and third verse is Tenor solo
followed by 4th verse SATB. I am using \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranos" etc
to enter the Lyrics. In the 2nd verse, though it is SATB, we have only one
lyrics line, the one for soprano. When we the third verse, \new Lyrics
\lyricsto "tenors" places the 3rd verse in the tenor line of the 2nd part,
which is SATB with only the lyric line for sopranos. I have to make it skip
about 18 bars. Now \skip does not work in \lyricsto, and this agrees
with the documentation. I don't seem to be able to combine
\lyricmode, which, obeys \skip and then follow it with \new Lyrics \lyrics
to. I was not successful with \new Lyrics { \lyricmode {s1*18 \tenorwords}
} because the syllables in \tenorWords last 1 bar each. Is there way to
give a 'blank syllable' and use \lyricsto ?
Thanks Sebastian
