The number after \skip has to be there for consistency, but in lyrics
that number is a mere place-holder. You have to put another \skip
(+number) for every skipped note in the lyrics. In the usual practical
situation, where the lyrics are for a singer, it doesn't make
common sense to have entire bars (or even entire beats) that both have
notes *and* don't have lyrics.
