I don't understand. Where a lyric is given, a lyric is printed.
Where it isn't, there's a note without a lyric. In LP, that
necessitates a skip because the lyrics in LP are sequential,
so there has to be a cipher/null/zero/placeholder.

The first glissando has a lyric for both notes, "normal" on the
starting note and "glissando" on the note that stops it.
