i'm not sure to understand the problem - does the following help? it will
skip 18 notes of the melody:
<<
\new Voice = mel \relative { c d e f c d e f c d e f c d e f c d e f c d e
f c d e f c d e f c d e f }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto mel { c d e f \repeat unfold 18 \skip 4 c d e f c d
e f }
>>
if this doesn't help you should consider using named parts in the melody,
e.g.:
<<
\new Voice \relative {
c d e f c d e f
\new Voice = "melpart2" \relative { a b c d a b c d a b c d a b c
d a
b c d a b c d a b c d }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melpart2" { \repeat unfold 3 { this is my text! } }
>>
