Well, you can just jump in with the lyrics: the Lyrics context does not
need to start with \lyricsto (though synchronization is a bit queer if
it doesn't, but still easier than counting syllables).
\version "2.18.2"
music = \relative {
c'8 c d c~ c4. r8
g' e d c~ c4.
}
textExplicit = \lyricmode {
\skip 1
And8 now with words. _4.
}
textImplicit = \lyricmode {
% the number after \repeat unfold is the number of notes skipped
% the duration of the skip is ignored
\repeat unfold 4 \skip 1
And now with words.
}
textMixed = \lyricmode {
\skip 1*7/8 % must be a bit short so that \lyricsto sees the next onset
\lyricsto "melody" { And now with words. }
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "melody" \music
\new Lyrics \textExplicit
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \textImplicit
\new Lyrics \textMixed
>>
}
