Re: Full measure rest positioning

[Ole Schmidt]

You can move the rest manually  with \notemode (see manual):

\notemode {c''2. \rest}

or with

\once \override Rest #'staff-position = #1 r2.

\once \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #1 r2.

for the whole \new Staff (or whatever) you can:

\revert Rest #'direction

respectively:

\revert MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position

I've learned all that recently and also that:

"Rests and multi-measure rests  are different objects.  For general information about this, see chapters 3-5 and 10.  You may also want to look at the doc pages for rest (somehwere in ch 6) and multi-measure rest (ch 8)."

hope that helps,

I've been trying to figure out how to either manually position full measure rests, or to have them all go in a certain position.  I'm using 3/4 time.

With normal rests, I can do b'2.\rest or put \override Rest #'direction = #'0 in the code above.

I can do R2. but the position is too high, due to how I've got the voices set up.

How might one do this?

Anyway, just a musical question:

Is it wrong to just use r2. instead of a full measure rest?  In my case, this is the first measure of the piece.

Thank you for the help.
