Hm? How could you even have a compressed multi-measure rest when there is anything like an "8-bar phrase" in parallel?

It's probably easiest fiddling with self-alignment-X if that is heeded, making one more or less right-aligned and the other left. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
