2.4.1.1 Showing melody rhythms

Sometimes you might want to show only the rhythm of a melody. This can be done with the rhythmic staff. All pitches of notes on such a staff are squashed, and the staff itself has a single line

     
     \new RhythmicStaff {
       \time 4/4
       c4 e8 f g2 | r4 g r2 | g1:32 | r1 |
     }
