Re: Optional notes

[Mats Bengtsson]

Do you want exactly the layout you describe below? I can think
of many different ways to notate it, including brackets like in
alternative endings of a repeat, smaller size notes plus a
textual indication, ...

For the parenthesis, look at the example called molecule-hacking.ly
in the Regression Test document for your LilyPond version at
www.lilypond.org.

Typesetting the rest and the note in the same stave is trivial, right?
<< R1 g4 >>
