Hi Harm,
I appreciate your time on this.
Your solution with a constant variable is the way.
I would put `Score` in the work-around, i.e.:
work-around =
\once \override Score.MultiMeasureRest.spacing-pair = #'(staff-bar . staff-bar)
as the two rests are not vertically aligned otherwise.
I would always centre these rests and ignore the space created by the clef (my
first example of “great” I’d now say “no”).
It’s much more noticeable on shorter measure lengths i.e. 2/4 vs 4/4
I think it is best not left as a bug, but this left in the searchable archive.
It’s more flexible and less opinionated. And especially that there are already
different opinions.
My reasoning is looking through scores, they are not consistent at all. I even
found a 1930s Durant edition convention on irregular time signatures of 7/4
where the rest placement is deliberately off centre (unless a typo error).
But please understand my logic for a staff event (clef change) to affect a
score event (MMR) of perhaps multiple staffs, just seems up-side-down.
but sincere thanks,
Owain
