Multi measure restsMulti measure rests are entered using ` \time 4/4 r1 | R1 | R1*2 \property Score.skipBars = ##t R1*17 R1*4 The \property Score.skipBars = ##t \time 3/4 R2. | R2.*2 \time 13/8 R1*13/8 R1*13/8*12 Notice that a R spanning a single measure is printed as a whole
rest centered in the measure, regardless of the time signature.
[ add note about breves.] Texts can be added to multi-measure rests by using the
note- \time 3/4 R2._\markup { \roman "Ad lib" } R2.^\fermataMarkup By default, the multi-measure rest uses the number font, which does not contain any letters. This is the reason for the explicit \roman in the above example.
The object for this object is MultiMeasureRest , and MultiMeasureRestNumber . BUGS Only one text can be put on a multi-measure rest with
note-text syntax, since this is internally converted to
setting Currently, there is no way to automatically condense multiple rests into a single multimeasure rest. Multi measure rests do not take part in rest collisions. |
