AFAICS Gould is not explicit on the correct handling of MMRs like
this. I think you’re right. (I found the German translation at our university library.) For single measure rests she writes (section II.6) • semibrevis rest for any time signature • exception: brevis rest for 4/2, 8/4 and longer → LilyPond does this but adds • exception: longa rest for 4/1 and longer, maxima rest for 8/1 and longer For compressed multi measure rests she writes (section III.18) • \override MultiMeasureRest.expand-limit = [one of 1 “modern”, 9 “classic”, or 2 “many editions”] • how 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 measure rests are written if expand-limit = 9; she doesn’t mention time signature/measure length at all here → LilyPond does this with the following exceptions • default expand-limit is 10, not 9 • the forms for 2 to 9 bars rest are only the ones shown by her for measure lengths < 2/1 until this patch comes and fixes that In section III.18 she writes something like “put a 1 above a single measure rest” and shows only an example with a semibrevis rest (without mentioning measure length) but doesn’t do that in II.6 … https://codereview.appspot.com/333340043/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
