It could also be something like \attachAt #’verse { R1 c’4 d' e’ f’ ... } Then it would end up extending the current \pushToTag functionality by filling with rests the duration from the preceding musical moment/expression to the tagged moment.
The \pushToTag method uses a complicated and flexible input structure, so finding the preceding musical moment takes some work. The example you gave earlier added music to a starting structure global = { \tag #'intro << {\time 4/4 s1*3 \time 3/4 s4*3 }>> \tag #'verse << \time 5/4 s4*5*12 >> \tag #'bridge << {s4*5 \time 4/4 s1 }>> \tag #'coda << \time 2/2 s1*9 >> \bar "|." } so if we insert both music and rests with an \attachAt#'verse, the rests go in parallel with the skips between 'intro and 'verse structure, but start after the end of any music we have \attachedAt#'intro, unless that attachment only puts music on an ossia staff. The toy implementation I posted earlier in this thread needs to see the previous music, Rest or spacer, and and indication of the tag to rest until, all in the same music sequence. conductor = { \tag #'intro \time 4/4 s1*3 \time 3/4 s4*3 \tag #'verse \time 5/4 s4*5*12 \tag #'bridge s4*5 \time 4/4 s1 \tag #'coda \time 2/2 s1*9 \bar "|."} coda = \tag#'coda {c'4 e' g' c'~c'1} verse = \tag#'verse {c'4 d' e' f' g'} \new Staff << \alignTo\conductor { R1 \verse \stopStaff s1 \tag#'bridge \startStaff R1 \coda R1} \conductor >> I think the automatic-rest-length idea will be easier to use if it is independent of \pushToTag. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
