Re: s or \skip - bug or expectable behaviour?

[Alexander Kobel]

The following looks like fairly a minimal example for the behaviour you 
encountered.

NR 1.2.2, "Invisible rests", says that "\skip requires an explicit 
duration".  But it is not mentioned / unspecified that this duration 
argument counterintuitively is not remembered for the following chords, 
contrary to the "s" spacer rests.

<<
  \repeat unfold 9 r4 \\
  {
    b2 s4 b
    b2 \skip 4 b
  }
