An invisible rest (also called a ‘skip’) can be entered like a note
with note name `s' or with \skip duration
a4 a4 s4 a4 \skip 1 a4
The s syntax is only available in note mode and chord mode. In
other situations, for example, when entering lyrics, you should use
the \skip command
<<
\relative { a'2 a2 }
\new Lyrics \lyricmode { \skip 2 bla2 }
>>
The skip command is merely an empty musical placeholder. It does not produce any output, not even transparent output.
The s skip command does create Staff and
Voice when necessary, similar to note and rest
commands. For example, the following results in an empty staff.
{ s4 }
The fragment { \skip 4 } would produce an empty page.
