The best I could find in the thread above was

\lyricmode { \repeat unfold  #n {\skip 1}  (lyrics) }

which is messy because  n  is the number of notes, not bars.  There are far more

notes and you have to adjust for ties & slurs & etc. and the bars are numbered.

Partial answer: If your score is split into different music variables, you can (in 2.24) write `\skip \sopmusic` rather than `\skip <_expression_ that hopefully matches duration of \sopmusic>`.

(In 2.22, you can write `#(skip-of-length sopmusic)`, but that's sometimes finicky around unfolded repeats.)
