I'm notating a score similar to the SATB template provided in the

manual, where lyrics are above and below both staves of the system.
However, through large chunks of the song, the lyrics are all the

can be printed once between the staves). The different lyrics only
happen
occasionally.
Right now, the way I'm dealing with this is to set up my ChoirStaff
to have four
lyrics lines throughout the song, above and below each staff.
Then, I add a
"\skip 1" for every note for which no lyrics should be printed.
This is tedious and error-prone. Is there a better way to skip
over whole
measures with no lyrics?
Thanks,

I usually assign a new Voice context to the notes that should have
different lyrics. Another option is to use \repeat unfold 1000 {_}
(or whatever number suits your needs) for those sections.
