Re: Vertically centering a song text.

[William Marchant]

In the example snippet quoted below, there is a line:
skipFour = \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 8 }

I have found this useful on its own, and have saved it for future use.  
The { \skip 8 } part has me baffled.   What does it do?  I have changed 
the number to 4, or 16 but there is no perceptible difference in its 
operation.  Yet, if I remove it, the snippet does not work. Can someone 
explain its function?
