Hi Lara,

the quick'n'dirty solution (I still use) is the following:

\version "2.11.55"

refrain = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = "Refr. "
    bla blu blubb blubb
}

verseOne = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = "1. "
    one two three four five
}

verseTwo = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = "2. "
    six se -- ven eight nine
}

refrainTwo = \lyricmode {
    blubb bla dub.
}

refrSkip = \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 1 }

\score {
    <<
    \relative c' {
        c4 d e f g a c d e f g a
    }
    >>
    \addlyrics { \refrain \verseOne \refrainTwo }
    \addlyrics { \refrSkip \verseTwo }
}

The better solution would be to use different context names for the
different parts and address them with \lyricsto.
