Re: Lyrics to rests?

[Peter Johnson]

.. or if adding hidden notes becomes tedious in an extended or complex
section, you can use tags as described in the "Lyrics independent of notes"
section of the manual.  With pitched music, this also seems to avoid the
risk that accidentals appear in unexpected places or not at all, since a
hidden note is taken into account in applying the rules for accidentals. 
For example:

\version "2.11"

counting = \lyricmode { "1" "+" "2" "+" "3" _ "4" _ | "sniff" "+" "2" "+"
"3" _ "4" _ | "1" "2" "3" "4" | "1" "2" "3" "4" }

notation = {
        \override Score.StaffSymbol #'stencil = ##f
        \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8) 
        \tag #'music { f8 f4 f8 f4 f | r8 f4. f2 | \times 2/3 {f4 f r4} r8 f8. 
f |
\times 4/5 {f4 f f f f } }  
        \tag #'countingrhythm { \repeat unfold 16 { f8 } \repeat unfold 8 { f4 
} } 
} 
<< 
        \new RhythmicStaff 
        \keepWithTag #'music \notation
        \new Devnull="nowhere" \keepWithTag #'countingrhythm \notation 
        \new Lyrics \lyricsto "nowhere" \counting
>> 

HTH.
