Thanks Lukas-Fabian,
This is perfect and it will be very helpful in many situations. Regarding
your question: No, I was applying it to the 2nd system. If I put the
command \showMultiRests before the first bar of any system, it seems to
have no effect, but it works fine when I put it before any other bar on the
staff. As I rarely have just 1 bar on a staff this should not be a problem
in practice.
Thanks,
Aberforth D
