Thanks for reminding me of its existence; I use neither Completion_*_engraver. Now: \version "2.19.80" \layout { \context { \Voice \consists "Completion_rest_engraver" } } { \time 4/4 c'4 } I believe Reggie would like the rest of that measure filled with rests (I’m guessing a quarter rest and a half rest).
