Joram, I stumbled upon a solution to this! It turns out that the second parameter to extra-offset is vertical spacing, so for odd staff lines you can draw the rest at the even line below it, and then bump it up by 0.5 with extra-offset to get the desired effect.
This is what I came up with: longbar = #(define-music-function (parser location pos) (number?) (let ((offset (if (odd? pos) 0.5 0)) (staffpos (if (odd? pos) (- pos 1) pos)) ) #{ \override Rest #'font-size = #4 \override Rest #'staff-position = #staffpos \override Rest #'extra-offset = #(cons 0 offset) r2*1/4 \once \override Rest #'extra-offset = #(cons -1.3 offset) r2*1/4 \revert Rest #'font-size \revert Rest #'staff-position #})) Thanks again for your help, Gabe On Sun, Oct 13, 2013 at 1:21 PM, Noeck <noeck.marb...@gmx.de> wrote: > Sorry, I don't know.
