Yo! And note how it's fixed in the second measure!!!!! The quarter rest 
is high on the staff in measure one (I thin) because 
merge-rests-on-positioning can't handle full-measure rests, so I decided 
to chop the "R2." up into "r4 r2" in the second measure to see if that 
wouldn't fix it. Not only fixed that, but fixed the problem that started 
this whole thing. I'm inordinately pleased with myself. (druther be 
lucky than good)

Any chance the full-measure/multi-measure problem will get fixed?

Oh, yeah. Why is the "Preferences..." entry dead on the Lilypond menu?

If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be
"profectionist".
Any form of incompitence is an athema to me.
Metathesis??? Don't ax me.
Just between you and I, the grammar used by Americans are getting worse.
I can only help but wonder what the cause of this might be.
It just ceases to amaze me how it could be the case, but mostly I could
care less.

I won't get into specifics because that was between he and I
