Modifying multi-measure rests

Hello, I am new to LilyPond and I have a question about the best way to approach a problem. I am typesetting some music and the time signature is 4/2. I would like to modify the behaviour of multi-measure rests to use a breve rest to represent 1 measure instead of a whole rest since the dur

Re: transposed parts3

Lilypond will not be able to interpret the note name 'ees' unless you say \notes {...} (in fact, that's the only thing that \notes does). Try \score { \context Staff=clarpart \notes{ \transpose ees \clarinet }} /Mats > >%%part-clarinet.ly > >\include "parts.ly" > >\score { \ontext Staff=c
