Re: How to auto print empty measures?

Hi Reggie,

> I think it's silly that Lily cannot auto fill measures either that way.

As someone who recently used Lilypond to draw a Riemannian Tonnetz graph (see 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2018-12/pdfhe5imdug__.pdf), I 
must say I doubt there is much Lilypond can’t do with a little programmatic 
encouragement.

That’s only because you haven’t written the code to make Lilypond do it for you 
[and anyone else who wants such a feature]. Patches are always welcome!

Cheers,
Kieren.
