Re: vertical position of beamed rests

[casey anderson]

Hi all,

We ended up refactoring all the rest such that they are give with an explicit note value followed by \rest.

However, that did not solve the problem. Is there any other potential solution? e.g. forcing the starts and ends of a beam to be of at least a certain height if stems up and below a certain height if stems down.

hi urs,

sure, but refactoring all the rests would be very difficult as the score is already completely generated...we are hoping to simply make this change when necessary on a case-by-case basis. any idea how to do so without refactoring the entire score (there are 64 of them)?

Does the

b'8\rest

syntax for positioning rests help you?
