SkipsAn invisible rest (also called a `skip') can be entered like a note
with note name ` a2 s4 a4 \skip 1 a4 In Lyrics mode, you can make invisible syllables by entering ` < \context Lyrics \lyrics { lah2 di4 " " dah2 _4 di } \notes\relative c'' { a2 a4 a a2 a4 a } > In this case, syllables containing a space will be printed. In the case that you really need an invisible space (i.e. something taking up time, but not space), you should use \skip .
Note that the \score { \context Staff < { \time 4/8 \skip 2 \time 4/4 } \notes\relative c'' { a2 a1 } > } The skip command is merely an empty musical placeholder. It doesn't produce any output, not even transparent output. |
