Ah, that would explain it. My real-world example is something like this:
\skip 1*17 \skip 4*4 % 17 3/4 bars of complicated music
I’m using a blank syllable and \melisma at the moment, but was
investigating other options. What might be nice (if this not too
cornerish a case) is something like:
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\lyricsOff % \lyricsto ignores these notes
d4 e f g
\lyricsOn
a b c d
}

Very true... in this case I’m doing a hymn arrangement where the choir
sings in harmony along with the organ, so the organ has no lyrics
until the actual first verse starts.
