The Completion_rest_engraver will do that in a variety of manners (depending on the variables it uses to make its decisions). It's not all that popular outside of computer-generated music where barlines and other metric boundaries are more of a coincidence and a help to the human executioner rather than an integral part of the rhythm. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
