Is there another way of just skipping time with no output whatsoever?
This is quite often needed when padding a partial bar in an
\alternative, for instance. I have dealt with this by using a scaling
duration on the last note in the bar, and that works, but frankly it
can be a bit hard to calculate the correct duration sometimes. And it
would be nicer if there was an explicit command available.
What do you want to do?
Maybe if you provide a minimal example of code we could give some
suggestions.
Have you read NR 1.4.1 Long repeats> Normal repeats ?
It provides 2 examples (snippets) showing how to handle partial and
alternatives.

Oh my, sometimes the obvious solution is not so obvious. As I said, I
need to pad partial bars in an alternative, and that can be done by
using - partial! As can be seen in one of the examples in 1.4.1. For
some reason it never occured to me to use partial in alternative.
However, for something like
\relative c'' {
\repeat volta 2 {
\partial 4 b4
c c c c | c c c c
} \alternative {
{ c4 c c c | b b b4*2 }
{ c4 c c c | d d d d }
}
}
I really have to use a scaling duration, right? The whole point with
this is of course to avoid extra whitespace at the end of the bar.
