I remember and use it this way:
R <length> <times> <so many>
so: R1*3 is three times the length of one whole note. Always calculate
the total length you need and that it gets there.
I tried simply this: Assume you want 4/4 followed by 3/4 and three
full measures rest in each:
{
\time 4/4
c''1
R1*3
\time 3/4
c''2.
R1*3
}
what you get is: one whole c'', 3 whole measures rest, time change,
one dotted half note c'', FOUR(!) measures rest
This is because 3 times a whole note rest equals 3 times 4 quarters =
12 quarters, which is four time a full measure of three quarters.
To get three rest measures in the 3/4 time you need:
{
\time 4/4
c''1
R1*3
\time 3/4
c''2.
R2.*3
}
I can get exactly the same by specifying R4*9, which is also 9 quarters.
Setting \compressFullBarRests in this doesn't make a difference. So
the statement this is no matter its real duration is not correct
i.m.h.o., it IS the real duration you need tp specify.

Wim.

A MultiMeasureRest for one measure always _looks_ like a whole note
rest, no matter how long its real duration is.
Maybe it's this what you mix up?

Ok. I see there a dotted hole note, but a dotted whole note or in
this case whole rest is only 8 eithgh notes if I counted correctly
which my coffee deprived brain probably did not lol! I get the
feeling that i'm making this harder then it really is. lol!
Take care all and thanks.

Subject: multi measure rests
I read the docs on how to do this but is there an easier way to
memorize how to do this? the fractions confuse the heck out of me
lol! I'm in 12/8 so I'll have 4
doted quarter notes so would the multi measure rest look like this
for one measure
R4. R4. R4. R4. |
for example?
Thanks all. and sorry for all of the questions.
Take care.
For one measure rest in 12/8:
R1.
Several measures rest in 12/8, for example, 8 measures:
R1.*8
