I'm working on parts for a piece at the moment, and I ran into the problem of getting multimeasure rests to stretch to accommodate metronome markings. I did some searching and applied the suggested solution to the problem (http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=659), which is \override MetronomeMark #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0). This solves the problem of too short multimeasure rests, but creates a new problem, which is extra space appearing at the beginning of bars in some parts. Here is an example of my problem in a nutshell:
\version "2.14.2" \language "english" global = { \tempo "For example" 4=60 s1*4 } foo = \relative c' { c4 d e f | g f e d | c e g b | d2 c2 | } baz = { R1*4 } \book { \score { \new Staff { \compressFullBarRests << \global \foo >> } \layout { \context { \Score \override MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #2 \override MetronomeMark #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0) } } } \score { \new Staff { \compressFullBarRests << \global \baz >> } \layout { \context { \Score \override MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #2 \override MetronomeMark #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0) } } } } When I compile this, the system with notes has an extraneous space between the time signature and the first note. Is there a way to get the multimeasure rests to space properly, while avoiding the awkward spacing in parts containing notes?
