My view would be to use David's solution where you have a preexisting
part already coded, but to use Simon's where you're writing a score
from scratch. It clarifies the structure of the score, and the
"aux" part is likely to be much less bulky to include in each and
every midi score than, say, a silenced florid soprano part.

I don't know if you write homophonic music with shared words (like in
a US-style hymn book) but NullVoice is almost unavoidable for setting
lyrics unless the rhythms are identical in every voice.

Cheers,
David.
