I'm writing a part in 4/4 which requires the player to remain silent for
the first three bars. I want to compress the rests, so I want the page
to start with a "Full measure" rest with the number 3 above it.
The notation manual under the heading "Full measure rests" suggests that
I code an R1 and then multiply it by the number of bars I want. My test
file is therefore this:
\version "2.16.2"
baritone = {
\relative c'' {
\key a \major
\compressFullBarRests
\time 4/4
R1*3
}
}
\score {
\new Staff \baritone
}
But from http://www.lawshouse.org/music/DoubleWholeRest.pdf you can see
that the result is three bars' worth of rests (a double-whole rest and a
whole rest), with the number 3 above. Surely that's double-counting,
amounting to nine bars of 4/4!
Of course, it's me that's doing something wrong; but what?
