Re: lyrics

[Dominic Neumann]

It can be, but this only works in \lyricmode:

OKAY: \repeat unfold 4 \skip 1
NOT OKAY: \repeat unfold 4 _
OKAY: \lyricmode { \repeat unfold 4 _ }
ALSO OKAY: \repeat unfold 4 \lyricmode { _ }

Instead of what Kieren said
        \repeat "unfold" 42 \skip
doesn´t work, because \skip needs to be followed by a number. The
value of the number doesn´t have any effect, if I remember right.
