Tim Rowe wrote Skipping notes in \lyricsto
Is there any way to get lyrics to completely skip some notes in
the
melody? (This is essentially for a fakesheet, and the notes I want
to
skip are a cue for an instrumental part.) It's not a melisma, so
I
don't want extender notes or hyphens. I thought of splitting the
melody into separate variables and only applying \lyricsto to the
relevant ones, which might work (the splits don't come in nice
places,
though, because of an awkwardly placed volta), but I wondered
whether
there was an easier way.
You can use \skip 1 in \lyricsto to skip one note
of any duration. (The 1 or any integer has to be
present, but is ignored in lyrics which derive their
duration from associated music). To skip more notes
use \repeat unfold x { \skip 1 }.
You can see some examples of this in
