LilyPond doesn't know about notes or rests shorter than 1/128. This is an arbitrary limitation into which I've also run occasionally. > > That's what I'm looking for, a silent rest of zero duration that simply > makes the page break and adds nothing to the score.

You can get a silent rest ("skip") of zero length with e.g. s4*0 (or any other duration times zero) (note the lowercase "s"), but I'm not sure you need this. In order to create allow a break in the measure you need only \bar "". But maybe I'm missing something from this stripped down reply.
