Hi Urs,

as David mentioned, there are solutions on the list. And in LSR you find:
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=336

And some time ago somebody posted the solution for multi-measure-rests ... I am ashamed, that I forgot to note the name - I use it quite often.
You can either use
\layout { \mergeRests }
or
{ \mergeRestsOn \music \mergeRestsOff }

Hi all,

how could I determine if at any given point in time there is another event in another voice or not. Concretely: If I have a certain rest, can I know if another rest of the same length is in another voice?

I would like to explore the idea of having a command like

\mergeSimultaneousRests

which would take care of setting \voiceOne in one voice and \once\omit in the other voice(s) to make that typical kind of notation more straightforward to use. I find it slightly embarassing that we have to do that manually for each instance.

Best
Urs
