Skipping notes

Making a lyric line run slower than the melody can be achieved by inserting \skips into the lyrics. For every \skip, the text will be delayed another note. The \skip command must be followed by a valid duration, but this is ignored when \skip is used in lyrics.

For example,

     
     \relative c' { c c g' }
     \addlyrics {
       twin -- \skip 4
       kle
     }
