Pitch with null duration?

I know how to make a pitch transparent (e.g., \override Rest
#'transparent = ##t) but is there a way to specify a pitch with a null
duration (e.g., like "g0" or somesuch)?

The behavior I'm looking for is to start out a measure with a slur to
the first note, as this is a continuation of a previous measure from a
note that is slurred to the note that I'm interested in, that I am *not*
including in my LilyPond document.

The behavior of this "null duration pitch" would be very similar to the
transparent pitch above, except:

1) It has no horizontal spacing.

2) It has no duration, thus doesn't generate annoying barcheck warnings,
or otherwise screw up matching notes to lyrics, etc.

If I haven't adequately explained myself, please ask questions and I
will try to provide a better explanation and examples.  If this is in
the documentation, I couldn't find it; I'm sorry.

Thanks,

Dossy
