Regarding the first question: Lilypond can merge rests "automagically" --- http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=336 --- but it may depend on local rules.
Having abovementioned LSR snippet: here in Ukraine quarter rests in the first measure should be merged, but in the second one upper voice hsould be notated as r4 r e g and two quarter rests should not be merged. 2017-03-28 12:09 GMT+03:00 Menu Jacques <imj-...@bluewin.ch>: > Hello folks, > > Two questions about the display style for Recordare's Binchois20.xml file: > > - should there be only one set of quarter rests under (CT.) in the lower > staff, and if so, how can that be done (i.e. to « mask » a rest in a voice > if there’s already one at the same point in another voice in the same > staff)?
