I was making a dumb assumption that the history of this entire thread would be present and would provide the necessary context. My initial email starts here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-05/msg00263.html The main workaround, if I remember correctly, is the use of \stopStaff to prevent empty staves from printing past the final bar line. > As best I can gather, it seems like you want to print rests, with no > barlines, and with line breaks. Actually, I want all the rests with bar lines and with line breaks. The context where this fails is where I use the various engravers which implement different features making the process more flexible. See that first email I linked to above and the attached bad_test.pdf and bad_test.ly lilypond files for examples of things going wrong. In the examples I supplied in my previous email, everything works as it should when printing notes but runs into problems when printing rests. The last email of the original thread back in May ended with someone needing to submit an official bug report but I don't think this happened. I'm hoping that whatever bug might be causing this will, when fixed, take care of this problem with the rests. So I guess I was looking for an update with regard to that bug and it being submitted to the tracker. And hoping that the situation with the rests doesn't add any difficulties to resolving that bug.
