Hi!

Could you implement the possibility:
  \override RestCollision #'positioning-done = #merge-rests-on-positioning
described in http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=336
_directly_ into LilyPond?
So we would not have to define  merge-rests-on-positioning  ourselves,
each time we want to use this function.

This function _is useful_, as shown by the several messages asking for
this on lilypond-user:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=Merging+rests+&submit=Search!&idxname=lilypond-user

That would also be great if you could overpass the limitations, i.e.

  – ability to handle more than two voices ;
  – handle multi-measure/whole-measure rests.

Maybe the following discussion could be helpful in a certain way:

@Bug Squad:
Could you add an issue for this on the tracker?
There is currently no issue about this AFAICS.

Please note there might be a BOUNTY offer, but you should have to check
since the original message is 3-year-old:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-03/msg00353.html

Thanks everybody,
Xavier
