(I cannot use s4) I'd look at input/test/rests.ly. It looks like the answer might be: \property Staff.Rest \set #'style = #'mensural And then in the other lines, set the rests to be invisible, which I don't know how to do off the top of my head, but it must be possible. Or you can probably use s4 if you are doing what I suggest above using invisible barlines. Hope this helps. It could well be that I'm recommending what I do because I don't understand what you do. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
