The following MWE is a variation of the first code example in 2.21.1
Notation manual 1,2,2 Full Measure
Rests:
% Rest measures contracted to single measure
\score{
\new Staff \new Voice
<< { \compressMMRests } { R1*4 R1*24 R1*4 b'2^"Tutti" b'4 a'4} >>
}
mmxtest.ly:13:25: error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting \header
I believe this used to work In 2.19.xx.
How can I accomplish the following, i.e. have the structure common to
all parts in a single definition as I have been doing for many years
with Lily?
For example:
\version 2.20.0"
timing = { \compressMMRests s1*28 \bar "|." }
PartA = { R1*4 R1*24 }
PartAComplete = << \timing \PartA >>
\score{ \new Staff \new Voice \PartAComplete }
