multimeasuerrest breve too wide

2014-09-12 Thread Neil Thornock
The double whole rest forces the measure too wide in this example, as if making room for notes that aren't there. Any ideas how to shorten the measure up to be, at least, no longer than the other measures? << { c'4 s1.. c'4 s1.. c'4 s1.. } { \time 8/4 c'4 r r2 r1 R\breve c'4 r r2 r1 } >> _

Thanks Phil. It does make the layout consistent, but it does so by widening all measures, and I was trying to find a way to narrow them down to avoid spilling over to so many pages. I have a different solution for now involving percent repeats, but the default layout weirdness is still disconcerti

As a workaround you could omit the spacer like this: << { c'4*8 c' c' } { \time 8/4 c'4 r r2 r1 R\breve c'4 r r2 r1 } >> -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/multimeasuerrest-breve-too-wide-tp166355p166359.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at
