Yes but r8 does not permit \RemoveEmptyStaffContext and \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t to work, and I suppose that Phil is using this because he said: > I want to use whole measure rests for the vocal parts, so that they > are removed from the start, where there is only piano music. > [...] > otherwise you can't lose "empty" vocals with an upbeat. Dear Phil, I had the same issue and I posted on bug-lilypond http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2009-09/msg00095.html http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=849 Nicolas Sceaux gave an interesting hack in his answer here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2009-10/msg00011.html %%% %%% The following hack make regular rests hara-kiri-able %%% #(let* ((rest-def (assoc 'Rest all-grob-descriptions)) (meta-def (assoc 'meta (cdr rest-def))) (interfaces-def (assoc 'interfaces (cdr meta-def))) (interfaces (filter (lambda (interface) (not (eqv? interface 'rhythmic-grob- interface))) (cdr interfaces-def)))) (set-cdr! interfaces-def interfaces)) This worked for me.
