As told earlier: The input of a score should not force the appearance
of the output. For example, I like to write one bar per line in the
input files, interspersed with comments to structure them in five-bars
blocks. Writing e.g. `R1*47' heavily disturbs this structure, making
corrections after inputting the data *much* more time consuming since
it takes longer to identify the right spot (yes, I'm a die-hard user
which uses a plain text editor for input). In this case, it would be
great if multi-measure rests written as
% 15
R1*5 |
% 20
R1*5 |
...
could be merged properly.
