I could change my proposition, to the following:
Instead of a \lyricsSkip variable, use a \skiplyrics command: \skiplyrics 5
skips 5 lyrics, and is hence an equivalent of { \repeat "unfold" 5 \skip 4 }.
This would solve their problem as well.
Btw there is an important difference between \skip and _, namely that in
{ bla -- _ bla } the hyphen is not correctly placed, while in
{ bla -- \skip 4 bla } it is.
