Including a \lyricto around both?  The problem is that then a \skip 1 is
only "equal" to one lyric when the lyrics all have length 1 as well
(either giving the first lyric an explicit 1, or having the preceding
entered note duration happen to be 1).

That's not all that easy to get right and explain.  Maybe we need to
figure out a different construct then.
