That's a problem I frequently encounter. Most often I print an 
additional 4 which I set to white; but since I didn't manage to tweak 
the colour for a single bass figure, I use a \markup { \number 4 } which 
additionally has to be tuned to the right font size.

What would be really helpful here would be a placeholder/dummy "empty 
bass figure" which takes up the amount of vertical space any regular 
bass figure takes. But I do not know how hard it would be to add such a 
thing.

Best
Lukas
