I’m avoiding explicit durations in this project because each set of words can
be set to multiple possible tunes. These tunes may have the same meter (number
of syllables per phrase) but not necessarily the same rhythm (indeed, at least
one alternative is usually a chant setting while at least one is measured).
Explicit durations would mean having separate copies of the same lyrics for
each tune, something I’m trying to avoid.
Indeed, your workaround suffers from a similar problem, as that empty syllable
isn’t needed in the other melody.

Hmm… If that’s true, then what I need is a way of timing the \unset command to
happen 1/8 later for this melody. Controlling when commands occur in time
makes me think of the Edition Engraver, which I’ve always meant to come to
terms with. Perhaps this is the song which finally forces me down that route.
