The following: {c4 16}
produces a quarter note C followed by a 16th note C The following: {c4 16 r4 16} Produces a quarter C, 16th C, quarter rest, 16th C I had hoped that the last 16th would be a rest. This came about while trying out this code: {c4~ 16 r4~ 16} which produces the tie with the first two notes but again, that last 16 is a separate 16th note C. I don't know what the expected behavior is but at least for my case, remembering the rest would be the most helpful outcome. Or at least a tie from a rest seems like it would always want the next note to be a rest, right? My music is all computer generated along with the LilyPond files and the behavior I describe is what would be best for me, but I get if that's not how it is for most people. So I don't know if there is a work-around, if this is a bug, or a feature request? Any help would be appreciated even if it's just that my desire here is way out of the ordinary. Dave
