Hello,
I had been trying to get a fermata to align centrally over the last bar which
is just a full rest (yes I know it makes no sense musically but anyway..) I had
been struggling.
So I came up with the idea of using spacer rests and you cannot
do
R1^\fermata
But even with spacer rests I couldn't get it to work without manual shifting.
However if I use real notes instead of spacers it seems to work so I wondered
if anyone could explain why the fermata is not aligned when using spacers only
as it is when using real notes in the example below because I was expecting a
spacer in this context to act like a note at least in spacing within a measure.
I hope that makes sense

<< { R4.*3 } \\ { s8 s s s s^\fermata s s s s } >> % This is off-centre
<< { R4.*3 } \\ { s8 c s c s^\fermata c s c s } >> % This works
}
\score {
\Music
