Hi Paolo,

Have you looked into:

1. \skipTypesetting <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/notation/skipping-corrected-music>

Hi Kieren,
this is what I was searching for. 

However, the doc says that  "it skips all events, including tempo and instrument changes", but in the proposed example the \tempo instruction is not skipped.

How can I make it skip *all* events?

Thanks!

Best,

P
