Hi William,

If you want to write more rests, the syntax is

r4 r r b

Much like

c'4 r e f

are all quarter notes and a quarter rest.


Lilypond remembers the duration, but needs to know what to print with that duration.


Best wishes,

Jakob

Hello all,

Am I misunderstanding something, or is this a bug? Since the "r4" at the start of the second measure is fully qualified, I was expecting the "4"s that follow it to be quarter rests as well, but I'm seeing "c"s in the rendered output.

\version "2.25.6"

{
    c'4 r r r
    % The middle 4s are "c"s instead of rests
  | r4 4 4 b
}
