Merging rests

2010-09-13 Thread bart deruyter
Hi, I have found a way to merge rests when there are two voices on one stave, but which evolve as one voice, to limit clutter on the score on this page : http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=336 . It is very usefull indeed, but isn't there a more general way to merge rests. It's a lot of code for

The last thing to do is to merge the R1/ You can do : \new Staff << s4-\markup{Merge rests as per standard notation practice.} \relative c'' { c4 d e b\rest | r2 e4 g | _*b,1\rest*_ } \\ \relative c'' { c4 b a b\rest | r a g2 | _*b1\rest *_} >> *but these are not centered.* So you have to do
