In my hymn, I need to start the first measure halfway through. It has a time of 3/4, but I have to insert two empty, non-showing eighth notes. How do I do that?
I've used o4 o4 c8[ d]
below for the first measure, but lilypond does not like this. What's the right way?
Here's the line:
o4 o4 c8[ d] e4 e4 e8[ f] g4 g4 f8[ e] d4 d4 g8[ f] e2
