Hi folks, I'm writing a resource for beginner musicians, and many of the early exercises I'm writing don't use staff lines (Lilypond's 'easy play' feature is very useful here!)
One problem I have--it's very difficult to distinguish minim/half-note rests from semibreve/full-note rests, because they're essentially the same glyph but situated either above or below a staff line. When displaying these symbols without a staff it's fairly common to add a short line at the appropriate place on the glyph so the type of rest can easily be determined. I can't think of any straightforward way to do this in LilyPond though. Has anyone else found a way around this problem? Cameron Horsburgh
