Multi Measure Rests in Cadenzas

[Calvin Ransom]

I have a cadenza where Staff A rests while Staff B plays and after the cadenza Staff A comes back in.

In the below minimal example, there is an extra rest added above the note when Staff A comes back in. How do I get rid of this rest? If I use r1 instead of R1 I don’t have this issue (but I need to use R1 as my cadenzas are longer than a single measure)

 

%%%%% SNIPPET BEGINS %%%%%

\version "2.24.1"

 

\new ChoirStaff <<

  \new Staff         {

    a1

    R1

    a %why is there a rest above this note?

    a

  }

  \new Staff  {

    a1

    \break

    \cadenzaOn

    a

    \bar "|"

    \break

    \cadenzaOff

    a

    a

  }

>> 

 

%%%%% SNIPPET ENDS %%%%%
