as a victim of such parts (orchestral bass trombone), this shouldn't be the default behavior. I've had such parts, and it is REALLY annoying when your part jumps from say mark G to mark Q (with 137 bars rest) and the conductor asks for the rehearsal to start 3 bars before P. unless you _know_ how many bars P has or _exactly_ when you're supposed to come in, such parts are useless. If this becomes default behavior, please leave an option to keep it working as it does now. regards, sb _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
