It would be nice if lilypond had some readymades like that, so you could R = \readymade "R1*5/8" but now you could define \mrest and substitute it for ``R '', with a space, using sly's filter. Leaving the filter alone, you could then redefine as necessary within your music. ------------------------------------------------------------ Information is not knowledge. Belief is not truth.
