Just thought I'd offer a gentle reminder about using underscores to skip
syllables. USE CAUTION because _ and \skip X make lyric syllables that come
*before* them align themselves differently to the corresponding noteheads. _
will always left-align them, \skip X will align them like normal. This
isn't a problem in the above case since they are all prefatory, but just be
aware of this nuance.
For me, I *never* use _ to indicate a skipped syllable unless I mean to
manually indicate a melisma in the lyrics (since this is really what it is
designed to do). I *always* use \skip X (where X can be any duration since
it doesn't matter in the lyric context) and use the \repeat unfold N if
necessary.
