Well, you can just jump in with the lyrics: the Lyrics context does not need to start with \lyricsto (though synchronization is a bit queer if it doesn't, but still easier than counting syllables).
\version "2.18.2" music = \relative { c'8 c d c~ c4. r8 g' e d c~ c4. } textExplicit = \lyricmode { \skip 1 And8 now with words. _4. } textImplicit = \lyricmode { % the number after \repeat unfold is the number of notes skipped % the duration of the skip is ignored \repeat unfold 4 \skip 1 And now with words. } textMixed = \lyricmode { \skip 1*7/8 % must be a bit short so that \lyricsto sees the next onset \lyricsto "melody" { And now with words. } } \score { << \new Voice = "melody" \music \new Lyrics \textExplicit \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \textImplicit \new Lyrics \textMixed >> }
