There is not actually a need to do so, unless you do already have the melody
in the system. Lyric events are totally normal music events featuring a
duration. Having the Lyrics follow a Voice is a feature, not a necessity.
So instead of entering a dummy Voice just for rhythm you can directly enter
the Lyrics with the rhythm:
%%%
\version "2.24.4"
text = \lyricmode {
Aaa4 Bee4 Cee2 | Aaa4 Bee2 Cee4 |
}
harmonies = \chordmode {
a2 c | g c |
}
\new ChordGridScore {
<<
\new ChordGrid {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\harmonies
}
\new Lyrics \text
>>
}
%%%
