Hi all,
Or perhaps have a distinction between things like { s4 } and { c4\rest } ?
I think we should distinguish between “skips” [which take up no space,
horizontal or vertical], “spacers” [which take up space, but are invisible],
and visible objects (like rests, notes, etc).
My suggestion:
s4 for skips
sp4 (or similar) for spacers
c4, c4\rest, etc. for visible objects
Right now, I have the syntactic sugar \ignoreH, \ignoreV, and \ignore (both H
and V) which I put in front of objects when I want to adjust their effect on
spacing — but it would be nice to have a built-in and less verbose way of doing
the same thing.
Thoughts?
Kieren.
