Cues and silent notes

As far as I know, there is no way to make a note silent. There are many different shapes and sizes you can make notes, but none of them seem to change anything about the note itself. For instance, cued note are almost always for the reader to know what is going on around them, maybe to establish a rhythm they are about to play, or just help keep time, but that rarely means they are played. It would be very nice if they would be silent, or have the option of being silent. I doubt that this will get read or considered by anyone but this is a source of distress for me. Please consider.

  I agree - I would like to know how I can make a 'note' that is spoken/shouted by the vocal in a piece un-pitched so it sounds like a percussion note in the exported audio.

  I really like this idea! It would especially helpful when writing orchestral parts, or any part for that matter.

  I agree. I often put cues to different instrument, it would be great to make them sound as silent.

  couldn't agree more.  I write alot of symphonic music and cue notes are an essential part of that.  Once they're put in however, the overall playback of the piece is no longer accurate.
