Mats, I just wanted to thank you for the advice, it was very helpful. Did not have a clue about the properties of the various voices but am moving foward to utilize your ideas. I have been using lily 1.6 until recently as my redhat8 system was behind the times but now with a recent upgrade to fed

You have a syntax error, which is easily remedied. Instead of c-5, you change to c_5 to force the markup below and c^5 to force it above. You never use c_-5. Carl Carl D. Sorensen Department of Mechanical Engineering Brigham Young University 435 CTB Provo, UT 84602 801-422-6397FAX 801-422-

Sorry, you have to set the property in the Staff context, not in the Voice context, since the Multi_measure_rest_engraver lives in the Staff context: \override Staff.MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1 /Mats Benjamin Esham wrote: On Aug 11, 2004, at 4:04 AM, Mats Bengtsson wrote: To see what I'

Unfortunately, there is no automatic support for this at the moment, but I found a comment in the implementation that this is on the TODO list (in the file lily/rest-collision.cc). So, for the moment, you have to insert a property setting to move it manually: \override Rest #'extra-offset = #'(-2 .
