An example of use is when one want to indicate that the singer way wait (a little) 
between 2
strophes of a song: then the fermata is on the last bar.

This is what i use. (\ferma : after the last note; \fermb : before the first note)

1 1 4 4 4 4 0 0
1 1 20 0

./
\\def\ferma{\sk\off{\beforeruleskip}\loffset{0.5}{\fermataup{8}}\off{-\beforeruleskip}\bsk}\
\\def\fermb{\off{-\afterruleskip}\loffset{0.5}{\fermataup{8}}\off{\afterruleskip}}\
g04 \off{\noteskip}\fermataup7\off{-\noteskip}\ g g g /
