Hi, There are three different ways to have some invisible pause:
1) `s`
2) `\once \hide Rest r`
3) `\once \omit Rest r`
None of these are equivalent. A hidden rest is basically just like a normal
rest, with all the typesetting done with this normal rest in mind, except that
the rest is skipped while doing the final drawing. An omitted rest is a rest,
but with its drawing removed earlier during the typesetting phase, so that, for
example, its extent does not factor in other things; but it's still a rest that
exists. And a skip is the most radical option: from the typesetting point of
view, it creates nothing at all. There is no grob associated with a skip.
I don't understand what you mean by a bracket “bifurcating” itself. What should
that look like, visually?
To me, the behavior is not so different from beams: you can sometimes see
things like
```
\version "2.24.1"
\fixed c' <<
{ d16[ s d s d s d s d s d s d s d] s }
\\
{ s16 d[ s d s d s d s d s d s d s d] }
>>
```
but I have never seen
```
\version "2.24.1"
\fixed c' <<
{ d16[ s d s d s d s d s d s d s d \once \omit Rest r] }
\\
{ \once \omit Rest r16[ d s d s d s d s d s d s d s d] }
>>
```
I can see why “your” behavior can make sense, I'm just explaining why the
handling of skips in tuplet brackets is relatively consistent with some other
things.

No worries, I didn't interpret it so.
