Hi Ian, welcome to LilyPond and the list.

Others may be interested as well. 2015-07-28 1:02 GMT+02:00 Ian Rashkin <irash...@gmail.com>: > hi, sorry to bother you - this > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-05/msg00880.html fix > sounds like just what i need, but i am a total newbie to lilypond, trying to > decide if it can really do all i want it too. so far the only thing i don't > like is the whole rest positions. but, i don't know how to implement this > patch.

Don't put it in internal files, it will be overridden and lost with next upgrade.
