I’ve managed to move the multimeasure rest numbers into the PianoStaff
context with this code. Next (too hard for me) would be:
- place the transparent MMrest in the center of the whole PianoStaff
- place the MMrest number on top of this MMrest
\version "2.24.2"
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \compressMMRests {
c''1
R1*5
g1
f1
}
\new Staff \compressMMRests {
\clef bass
c1
R1*5
c'1
d'1
}
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Voice
\override MultiMeasureRestNumber.transparent = ##t
\override MultiMeasureRest.transparent = ##f
\override MultiMeasureRest.direction = #CENTER
}
\context {
\PianoStaff
\consists Multi_measure_rest_engraver
\override MultiMeasureRest.transparent = ##t % comment this out to
place MM rests
\override MultiMeasureRestNumber.parent-alignment-Y = #CENTER % this
is not the solution
}
}
}
