The skip setting is different to all other step values in that it is only
used after each step is played, along with the direction setting, to decide
which step should be played next.
If for some reason a step becomes the current step, and its skip flag is
set, it simply doesn't play - there is no advance to the next step on the
same beat. This happens if every step in a pattern is skipped.
Events could be used to modify the 'current step' value for the track. I'd
probably call that a 'hop' to distinguish it from a skip.
And 'jump' would do something else again.
