Re: partial measure plus tuplet causes incorrect bar check warning with tripletFeel

[Eric Benson]

Yes, this does solve my problem. I can use "s8" instead of "r8" because I don't need a visible rest there. The written music can start with the leading eighth note, but the midi needs the extra eighth rest to align with the beat. The only drawback to this solution is that it causes a little bit of empty horizontal space in the score. I would like to use an eighth rest that doesn't consume any horizontal space. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do that?

Here's a minimal example:

\include "swing.ly"

\score {

  \tripletFeel 8 {

    \partial 8 e8 | a2. \tuplet 3/2 { e8 e8 e8 } |

  }

  \midi{}  

}

produces
