I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to do this.  I have a score
where verse 1 is sung then there is a whistling interlude then verse two is
sung.

I think that I need to somehow include spacers to skip over the whistle
part but I'm getting errors when I try that.

Here is a short sample code. Would someone give me a clue how to get the
lyrics to skip the "Whistle" part?

This comes up often in our vocal music. Often there is an interlude before
the next verse is sung.

\version "2.18.2"
\language "english"

melodyVerseOne = {
  \new Staff \relative c'' {
    \set Staff.vocalName = "Women"
    \set Staff.shortVocalName = "W"
    \new Voice = "Women" {
      \time 2/4
      \key c \major
      c^"Verse 1" d e f | \break
%%  Lyrics to skip this section
      g^"Whistle" a b c | \break
%%  Verse two lyrics start here
      c,^"Verse 2" d e f
    }
  }
}

verseOneLyrics = \lyricmode {
  La la la la
}

verseTwoLyrics = \lyricmode {
  Do re me fa
}

\score {
  <<
  \melodyVerseOne
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Women" {
    \verseOneLyrics
  %% Need to skip the "Whistle part"
    \verseTwoLyrics
  }
  >>
}

Thanks,
Chris
