I have a workaround - ad an empty syllabe:

\version "2.13.45"
{
<<
\new Staff = "Staff"
 \new Voice = "xMelisStaff" {
  c''4 c''4 c''4 ~  c''4  |  % 1
  c''4 c''4 c''2 ~   |  % 2
  c''4 c''4 ~  c''2  |  % 3
  c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4
 }
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto "xMelisStaff" {  La la la La la la La la la la la  }
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto "xMelisStaff" {
  La la la __
  La la la __
  La __
  "  " \skip 1 \skip 1 \skip 1
 }
 >>
}

The funny thing is that " " (1 space inside) doesn't work, and "  " (2
spaces) does. Any ideas why?

cheers,
