Re: lyricSkip?

[Mats Bengtsson]

You certainly increase my confusion! Isn't the point that people want to
use \lyricsto to match music to lyrics, but at the same time be able
to tell LilyPond that "Now there shouldn't be any lyrics for 10 bars,
then you should start the matching again".

An underline is perfectly useful to skip a single note or a few notes.
