I've found interesting failures when using empty-stencil, e.g., this snippet
based on a David K suggestion:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.23.4"
ignoreH =
\propertyTweak horizontal-skylines ##f
\propertyTweak extra-spacing-width #empty-interval
\etc
ignoreV =
\propertyTweak vertical-skylines ##f
\propertyTweak extra-spacing-height #empty-interval
\etc
ignore = \ignoreH \ignoreV \etc
{
c'4-\ignore _\f
% c'4-\ignore ^\markup "test" %% uncomment to see failure
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Sometime it's very hard to know what to use in Lilypond… <sigh>
