An invisible rest (also called a `skip') can be entered like a note
with note name `s
' or with \skip
duration:
a2 s4 a4 \skip 1 a4
The s
syntax is only available in Note mode and Chord mode. In
other situations, you should use the \skip
command:
\score { \new Staff << { \time 4/8 \skip 2 \time 4/4 } \notes\relative c'' { a2 a1 } >> }
The skip command is merely an empty musical placeholder. It does not produce any output, not even transparent output.
