That’s exactly why there are rehearsal marks, markup, cues, spanners, etc.: you [can] use them to break up the uninterrupted stretches of multi-measure rests — I don’t want to stop that from happening, of course. I’m simply trying to avoid problems like the one evident in the following snippet (where the second score should contain a three-measure MMR): \version "2.17.97" theGlobal = { \compressFullBarRests s1 s1-\tag #'(foo) -\markup "Foo only" s1 } theMusic = { R1*3 } \score { \new Staff \keepWithTag #'(foo) << \theGlobal \theMusic >> } \score { \new Staff \removeWithTag #'(foo) << \theGlobal \theMusic >> } Cheers, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
