How to calculate full-measure rests? Stumped. (triple meter?)

Hi all, I'm stumped. I've read the documentation (back when I was using 2.14 I remember I wondered this same thing) http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/writing-rests#full-measure-rests But, how do you get full measure rests to show up? I seem to only get them to work using "R1"

Hi Sarah. You need a midi block which then needs to be in a score block. \version "2.16.2" \score { \new Staff \relative c' { \key d\minor \time 3/2 \set Staff.midiInstrument = #"Acoustic Grand" 2 | 4 8 2 | } \midi {} \layout {} } On 12/03/2013 2:31 PM, Sarah k Alawami wrote

In relative, a note with no ' or , indicates the closest octave, e.g. for adjacent notes a b means the B one note above whatever A it was, d c means the C one note below whatever D it was, Effectively this means that using no ' or , will always produce a note within a fourth of the previous one
