I don't know if "s" does the same thing but the manual says that "r<d>" 
is what is needed to fix that.

When using continuation lines, common figures are always put in the same 
vertical position. When this is unwanted, you can insert a rest with 
|r|. The rest will clear any previous alignment. For example, you can write

 <4 6>8 r8

instead of

 <4 6>4
