1. Would s4 work for \skip 4?  I haven't \skip for many many versions 
since 's' became functional enough.

2. I usually use _ (underscore) to skip applying a lyric syllable to a 
note.  ( \repeat unfold nn _  )

3. Are the quotes on "unfold" necessary?  I don't put quotes on volta, 
unfold or percent and haven't for qui9tes a while.
