Hi,
How about:
%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
\language "english"
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\RemoveEmptyStaves
}
}
%% => http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=312
showMultiRests = {
\set Staff.keepAliveInterfaces = #'(
rhythmic-grob-interface

stanza-number-interface
percent-repeat-interface)
}
hideMultiRests = \unset Staff.keepAliveInterfaces
fillBar = \relative c' { g'8[ g g g g g] | }
fillLine = { \fillBar \fillBar \fillBar \fillBar }
partA = {
\key d \major \time 6/8 \clef "G"
\fillLine \break
\fillLine \break
\fillLine
}
partB = {
\key d \major \time 6/8 \clef "G"
R2.*4 \break
R2.*4 \break
R2. R R \showMultiRests R \break
}
\score {

\partA

%%%%
