Sorry for all the newbie questions -- I'm getting what I can from the
documentation and examples, but as you can tell a few things are
tripping me up.
This one is a song that has verses and a chorus. I can't work out how
to set them all against the music, unless I pad all verses except the
first with a lot of \skip instructions where the chorus would be. I
though it might be in the manual under "Lyrics and repeats", but that
section doesn't seem to be written yet. This must be a common enough
job -- how do I do it?
Thanks in advance..

There are different ways of doing this. I prefer to have separate
voice contexts for the verse and lyrics, i.e., music = { \context
Voice = Verse \relative {} \context Voice = Chorus \relative {} } and
then corresponding lyrics contexts: verse = \context Lyrics \lyricsto
Verse \lyricmode {} chorus = \context Lyrics \lyricsto Chorus
\lyricmode {}
Some prefer to use \skip1*32 (or appropriate). And some prefer a
similar method to skip, but a little easier on input, \repeat unfold
