But it doesn't work of you include the same music both in an instrumental part where the rests have to be written out and in a full score, since then the r4 will be printed as a full measure rest. One possibility in such a case is to use \tag to distinguish between the two versions. /Mats

You use \time to define the time signature, so maybe you could alter it so that it re-defines a whole-bar-rest function to use the appropriate multiplier. For instance, \time 3/4 would have the side-effect of defining wholeBarRest = \times 3/4 {R1} --Aaron V. On Apr 9, 2006, at
