Oops!  No, I hadn't, and now that I have included it things appear to
work perfectly.

I'm delighted to see that I can simply include \compressFullBarRests in
each individual instrument's Staff without it adversely affecting the
output of the score, which obviously needs the rests to be shown
individually (unless all instruments are 'tacet' for 2 or more bars).

Sincere thanks for all your help.
