Re: Spacing for s4

[Kieren MacMillan]

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.
