Skips in lyricsto

2007-03-06 Thread David Feuer
Is there an easy way to deal with skips in lyricsto? My experience suggests that there need to be as many \skip invocations as there are notes/melismata to be skipped, and that to avoid bar check failures, the skips should not span measures. This recently led me to use \skip 8. \skip 16 \skip

Why not use the \melisma \melismaEnd commands described in the section on Melismata? If you want to skip a long section of music, you can use the tricks described in "Divisi Lyrics". If you still end up using \skip, the duration of each \skip shouldn't matter at all, so you could just as well use
