%%%%% \version "2.19.48" \language "english"
{ \time 4/2 R1*4/2 } %%%%% The above prints a breve rest in the middle of the bar. I want the "normal" whole-bar rest to appear instead, i.e. a semibreve rest. After much experimentation and searching online and in the Lilypond docs, the best I have come up with is %%%%% \version "2.19.48" \language "english" { \time 4/2 \once \override MultiMeasureRest.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print \once \override MultiMeasureRest.text = \markup \musicglyph "rests.0" R1*4/2 } %%%%% This doesn't work correctly, for reasons I can partly understand. The required rest does appear, but it is at the beginning of the stave rather than in the middle of the bar. How can I get the result I want?
