Re: multimeasure rest bug?

[David Bobroff]

Trying it out myself it occurred to me that what you're possibly running 
into is that full bar rests need to occupy full bars.  I haven't checked 
the docs on that matter but I'd bet that's the reason.  If you change 
your R1*1/4 o r1*1/4 you'll get a whole rest.  It won't be centered 
without some extra adjustments, though.

Perhaps you could fake the first "measure" of the left hand with 
something like:


 s4*1/4 r1*1/8 s4*1/4 d2*1/4 d d a g a  c  b1*1/4 a  c2*1/4

I tried this and it looks about centered.
