Hi Richie,
\skip and s consume score time, but both print some horizontal space.
How can I insert an invisible rest that does not take horizontal space?
I searched the manuals and snippet repository, but no clue...
Use
r4*0
You may have to put
\once \override Rest #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0)
or
\once \override Rest #'extra-spacing-width = #'(+inf.0 . -inf.0)
to eliminate any space.
Thank you. That triggered the right solution. r4*0 does not work. The
rest collides with the following note. But, s4*0 works for me. And that
is exactly what I need. I have around 1000 melodies in which partial
measures were solved by inserting invisible rests (s) instead of using
\partial. With this solution it is relatively easy to write a script to
add *0 to all those invisible rests in order to get visually satisfying
scores.
Thanks again!
Peter
