Re: Barcheck with full measure rests

[Alexander Kobel]

Hi Michael,

what about

\new Voice { << R1 { s2. s4^"some markup" } >> }

? The \new Voice should not even be necessary in a typical score, with 
blocks like

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff <<
      % clef, time, etc.
      \new Voice \thisIsWhereMyMusicComesFrom
    >>
  >>
}

(It's only because each simultaneous expression on the outermost level 
gets its own staff by default.)


HTH,
Alex
