That’s exactly why there are rehearsal marks, markup, cues, spanners, etc.: you
[can] use them to break up the uninterrupted stretches of multi-measure rests —
I don’t want to stop that from happening, of course.
I’m simply trying to avoid problems like the one evident in the following
snippet (where the second score should contain a three-measure MMR):
\version "2.17.97"
theGlobal = {
\compressFullBarRests
s1
s1-\tag #'(foo) -\markup "Foo only"
s1
}
theMusic = {
R1*3
}
\score {
\new Staff \keepWithTag #'(foo) << \theGlobal \theMusic >>
}
\score {
\new Staff \removeWithTag #'(foo) << \theGlobal \theMusic >>
}
Cheers,
Kieren.
