RE: Position of rests

Kieren,

Thank you for the caveat.
Since I set piano scores, I rarely transpose (well maybe when I type!)

Hi Mark (and Joram),

If you do, remember that this doesn’t "survive" transposition:

\version "2.19.80"

restmusic = { g'4\rest }

{
  \restmusic
  \transpose c d \restmusic
  \transpose c e \restmusic
  \transpose c f  \restmusic
}

Cheers,
Kieren.
