Hello David and Trever, Pardon me if I miss spelled your name. So… what exactly does \compressFullBarRests do? Here is what I tried to do: \score { \new Staff { … music …. \compressFullBarRests R1*32 … more music } \layout { } }
Is there anything that I am missing to accomplish the engraving of a multi measure rest with a “32 above it?
