Hi Simon,
thanks for getting back to me (and for the more complete example). Odd,
when I tried that last time the rests would be vertically displaced, but
now it does what it's supposed to do. Welp, now I can't reproduce the
problem I was having with just using "r" instead of "b\rest" or whatever,
so I'm going to count it as "problem doesn't actually exist" and move on.
Cheers,
A
