Werner, the documentation of \skip on music is a ticket
at the moment.

https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6245

Given that I am not surprised if people don't find it.
A docstring is not easy-to-find nor sufficient documentation.
It's just that in unstable releases it happens to
have undocumented features like that -- of course,
they should get documented before the stable release.
