Hello David and Trever,
Pardon me if I miss spelled your name. So… what exactly does
\compressFullBarRests do? Here is what I tried to do:
\score {
\new Staff {
… music …. \compressFullBarRests R1*32 … more music }
\layout { }
}
Is there anything that I am missing to accomplish the engraving of a multi
measure rest with a “32 above it?
