Hi David,

Does the modified snippet (below) do what you want?
n.b. I was only worried about fixing the lyric position, not the barline
clashes.
Hope this helps!

Here the lyric lines are in the right
position because both lines are present.
When the top lyric line is only "\skip1",
the bottom line shifts up.
\skip1 \skip1 \skip1 \skip1

\skip1 \skip1 \skip1 \skip1

And, the bar lines are clashing with
several words when the top staff is
by itself.
