You can read my Postponed emails!?

"But sometimes I find the examples a little confusing. For example,
Learning 2.19.36 A3.3.3 on p161 shows how to put lyrics into a piano
staff. But why does it add \consists "Bar_engraver" to the Lyrics
context? I can't see any difference in the score when I remove
this line."

So it's documented but not explained. Here's my example where it
appears to make no difference. Do you have an example where it does?

Cheers,
David.
\version "2.19.36"
upper = \relative c'' {
  \clef treble
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  a4 b c d
  a4 b c d
  a4 b c d
}
lower = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  a2 c
  a2 c
  a2 c
}
text = \lyricmode {
  Aaa Bee Cee Dee
  A word is veryverylongindeed
  a tiny little bit.
}
\score {
  \new GrandStaff <<
    \new Staff = upper { \new Voice = "singer" \upper }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "singer" \text
    \new Staff = lower { \lower }
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \GrandStaff
      \accepts "Lyrics"
    }
    \context {
      \Lyrics
      %%\consists "Bar_engraver"
    }
  }
  \midi { }
}
