of rest, regardless of the length of the rest?

AFAIK, Lilypond automatically does this if you're using R rests (instead of
r rests). Or did you want to display partial-measure rests like this?


I don't quite understand what you want.

To see what I'm talking about, take a look at the first example image in the
"Multi measure rests" section of the user manual. The 17-measure rest is as
I described it above, while the 4-measure rest is displayed differently. I'm
trying to get all of the multi-measure rests to be displayed like the 17-
measure example (as I said, this seems to be the standard in every concert
band piece I've seen).
