Perhaps they are not named well. The documentation states: A spacer rest implicitly causes `Staff' and `Voice' contexts to be created if none exist, just like notes and rests do: [graphics] `\skip' simply skips musical time; it creates no output of any kind. That implies that s would be different in that respect. Which is misleading at best: s may require a voice context (and create it if it isn't there) and affects its default duration, but does not create output of any kind itself either. { s1 s s } produces exactly the same output as \context Voice { \skip 1 \skip 1 \skip 1 } So maybe the "spacer rest" terminology is not doing anybody a favor. Would you have felt more comfortable if my example had used "\skip" instead of "spacer rests"? -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
