s1*2 is a skip of duration 1*2 meaning that it _looks_ like s1 but takes
double the actual time.  {s1 s1} takes the same total time but consists
of two separate skips.

Don't use s1*2 but s1*4 here.  Multi measure rests are only compressed
when there is no musical event intervening in parallel.

Hi Pierre-Luc,

> Is there a way to prevent multi-measure-rest (MMR) breaking?

The \mergeSkips function was designed to do that:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=mergeskips=Search=lilypond-user

But on my quick test, it doesn’t seem to work on your file. Don’t have time to 
figure it out now, but maybe this will point you in the right direction.

Hope this helps!

Prevent MMR breaking

[Pierre-Luc Gauthier]

Hi there,

Is there a way to prevent multi-measure-rest (MMR) breaking?

I often use "s"s (e.g. s1*4 ) to trigger events, cue notes, etc,  and
some of them do not display anything at all (and it's ok). My problem
arise when I use MMR combined with multiple s expressions. Somehow,
s1*2 =/= {s1 s1} and I don't understand why nor have I found a
workaround.

In my MWE bellow, I would expect the MMR to be whole (6 bars) but
instead, it is spliced in 3 MMRs of 2 bars.

\version "2.19.55"

\new Staff \new Voice <<
  \compressFullBarRests
  { R1*6 }
  {
s1*2 | % MMR breaker
s1*2 | % MMR breaker
  }
>>

Any thoughts on how to solve this?
