How is that supposed to look and sound?
Muse makes it look and sound funny.

There is a slur mark on every note, caused by those () did you mean []?
And they are funny slurs because they just perch on one note rather than
combining several (because the other thing in the slur is invisible).

It plays sounding (roughly) like A2 B2 z c2 d2 z which would mean that I had
x and y back to front (neither are visible but I'm treating y as a real rest
and x just for spacing).  Should I be fixing this??

Using BarFly's invisible rests you can do this:

X:1
T:test
M:none
K:C
(A2x) (B2y) (c2x) (d2y)||

x is played as a rest but not printed, y is purely there to occupy some
horizontal space in the staff notation (i.e. it's really a hack to get
round problems occasionally created by BarFly's note spacing algorithms,
but probably all staff-notation generators will need such a hack at
times, albeit no two in the same places).  Which you'd want depends on
the context.
