Half and whole rests with no staff lines

2013-03-21 Thread Michael Rivers 
I'm making some rhythm exercises for my piano students with no staff lines
(which is the way it is usually done in piano methods). Everything looks
fine except for the half and whole rests which don't have the traditional
little extra lines above and below them to make them distinguishable. Can
anyone point me to a way to add these?

\version "2.16.1"

\new Staff
\relative c'' { 
\override Staff.Clef #'stencil = ##f 
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'stencil = ##f
g4 g  r2 | r1 | g2 r | \bar "|." }

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael,

Hmm, I'm not sure if you can add those lines to the rests; I always thought
LilyPond used the staff lines as a sort of a "home base" to decide where to
place the rest (either above or below the line as needed), according to its
duration --> half / whole.

I know you can change the style of rests (like normal, classical, etc) but
that too doesn't add the lines you are looking for either.  I guess worst
case: you could just add them in Inkscape post-LilyPond?  That's perfectly
doable, just add the lines manually - though not ideal, but maybe someone
can post here a simpler way to do what you're asking right in LilyPond.

Sorry, I wish I could help more.  Best of luck.

Ben

\new Staff
\relative c'' { 
\override Staff.Clef #'stencil = ##f 
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-count = 0
\override Staff.BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2)
g4 g  r2 | r1 | g2 r | \bar "|." }
