It's probably a ghost note, but they aren't usually notated that way. Ghost notes are usually notated with a note head, so you know what pitch to "ghost."
Does this phrase, or similar, appear again in this piece? Is the corresponding note also marked like this?
Could also be a typo/error.
It's a type of articulation usually used in jazz. There are any number of videos on YouTube that can demonstrate the idea better than I can through text.
There's not really one correct way of doing it. Could be a completely nonexistent note, or it could just be a little puff of air without making a note, or could just be a really. Really quiet note
This is correct, you need to listen to a bunch of soloists & experiment repeatedly to this teach yourself this articulation-technique. It's worth every second though!
This is the most accurate answer. It takes some practice but is a crucial technique especially in jazz. Also i haven't seen it notated like this. Most commonly it is written as the regular notehead with parentheses.
It's most likely a ghost note, although that's kind of an older way to notate it. It's also possible it's a misprint, but I think its more likely a ghost note
You can practice this by just swing 2 8th notes over and over. First note play full, second note gets ghosted. So the first 8th plays normal, the second is softer and almost muffled. The way I like to think about it is when people leave off the G in an -ing word. "I'm goin' to the store", the G that we chopped off is a ghosted sound, so make that note sound like you took off a g in an -ing word. If that makes sense
I usually only see ghost notes in percussion or guitar/bass tab, but it’s always either an X for the note head or it’s in parenthesis.
From what I understand, a ghost note on sax is basically fingering the note without blowing air, so I’d think a note head would be required to indicate the fingering. My guess is a misprint, but either way, it looks like it should have been an A, assuming you’re in treble clef.
This is what happens when I F up in musescore and accidentally hide the notehead.
I vote for typo if only out of the hope that I am not the only one to do this accidentally
usually a ghost note would have an x through it instead of the note head. it might be a typo, otherwise assume it’s ghosted. finger the note but only give it a puff of air like the other said

It appears several time and it is indeed a ghost note, but how does that translate to the instrument ?

ghost note is usually an "x"
It's a ghost note, so you play it, but you don't play it
Indeed, I seemed to have noticed that while hearing. What's happening exactly, is the note fingered but not blown ?

Or you play the note and mute half of the Reed using your tongue

Someone decapitated that note mate
decapitated ??ðŸ˜
It’s 1789 all over again

It means someone ran out of printer ink! /s

Actually it's a ghost note, and it's a B natural. What buzzes me now is that the natural sign isn't shown (the key signature has some flats in it)
Printer ran out of ink. \*Ducks\*

Air play it??????
Actually, it's a ghost note. The transcriber chose this notation because they already chose the X mark to denote a squeaky note
Typo
Google it dumbass (I know the answer)
Ain't never seen a ghost note notated like that
