Both approaches *should* work, but I've seen bugs with the second approach.

Right. (I haven't tried your code; there may be errors in it.)
I generally use skips myself, mostly because I always have.

One fine feature of the \skip command: It generally jusk works.
Ly -- ric, \repeat unfold 20 { \skip 4 } Mo -- re ly -- rics. __
The syntax is a bit confusing, though, as you have to supply a bogus duration
for the skip, and I do agree that the counting is a bit tedious... :-)

I exclusively typeset choral music, so you could search the list archives for my
posts. ;-)
