In cases like this, I generally \quoteDuring the global and just add a single
chunk to the music for that instrument:
{ \omit TimeSignature \time 4/4 R1^\markup "tacet al fine" }
1. Maybe not the most elegant solution, but it has worked perfectly for my
needs.
2. This could easily be turned into a function — either just to tack on the
“additional” stuff [as I currently do manually], or taking the global variable
and a measure number as parameters and outputting a new/modified global
expression [for that particular instrument].
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
