How do I get an "empty / blank" lyric at the start of a song?
I have a song that starts with two voices(?) for different timing on
different verses:
global = {
\key c \major
\time 2/4
}
melody = {
\relative {
\global
\partial 8
<<
{ \voiceOne r8^\mf }
\new Voice
{ \voiceTwo e'8 }
>>
\oneVoice | % 0
...
}
}
For the lyrics, I want something like:
words = \lyricmode {
| % 0
...
}
In other words (or lack thereof) the first verse doesn't start on the
pickup note, but later verses do. So I don't want a lyric under the
rest.
