The easiest way to do this is using Chord Options (ALT+F5). This is also found by right clicking on the chord sheet. If you are entering chords by simply typing them, type a period after the chord name.

For example C. tells the chord to rest and nothing will be heard until the next chord symbol.

The period will rest all the instruments. Using the Chord Options dialogue will allow you to choose which instrument you want to rest and which instruments you want to play.

Thanks Noel. I don't know if these suggestions will do the trick.

In my case I'm not so much interested in the band stopping play for the bar (although I'd like that too)
but more to have an indication in the notation that no chord is to be played (so no one accidentally continues the
chord from the previous bar).

You usually see NC or N/C in music to indicate No Chord.
Does BIAB have any notation like this or similar?

If not, I may have to write it in manually.
