Good point.
I was wondering why my last few posts have received no responses from this
normally responsive list — I never doubted it was my fault! :)

What I mean is, if the barline in another [polymetric] staff falls in the
middle of a MultiMeasureRest, could Lilypond [automatically] split the measure,
perhaps putting a parenthesized MMR on the following system? The following
snippet shouldn't have to run off the end of the page, since there are ample
opportunities to put a system break:
\version "2.17"
\language "english"
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Timing_translator"
\remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
}
\context {
\Staff
\consists "Timing_translator"
\consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
}
}
theVoice = {
\time 4/4
R1*7
}
thePiano = \relative c' {
\time 7/8
\repeat "unfold" 56 { c8 }
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \theVoice
\new Staff \thePiano
>>
}
It would be great if I could (e.g.) \override MultiMeasureRest.breakable = ##t,
and it would end up like this (but with the after-line-breaking MMR
parenthesized):
\version "2.17"
\language "english"
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Timing_translator"
\remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
}
\context {
\Staff
\consists "Timing_translator"
\consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
}
}
theVoice = {
\time 4/4
\repeat "unfold" 7 { R1*1/8 \repeat "unfold" 7 { \bar "" s8 } }
}
thePiano = \relative c' {
\time 7/8
\repeat "unfold" 56 { c8 }
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \theVoice
\new Staff \thePiano
>>
}
I could do this manually (or set up a function), but I was just wondering if
Lily had it in her to do this automagically… =)
Thanks,
Kieren.
