Comment #4 on issue 3016 by [email protected]: Fix of bad example in
\rest-by-number
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3016
Yes.
In \rest-by-number dots are allowed per default for all rests, even for
MultiMeasureRests.
I did so because, I thought it could be possible that someone would want to
write
"This rest-symbol isn't used:" \markup { \rest-by-number #-1 #1 }
Ledgered glyphs are taken, apart from (= log -1).
See hhttps://codereview.appspot.com/6850073#msg14 for the reason.
Adding \override #'(multi-measure-rest . #t) will result in disregarding
the dots and no ledgers.
