I am a newbie as well. It compiles without error message. May be you meant r1*4 instead of R1*4 ?

Hi Everybody, here's a newbie question. I tried to configure "merging automatically" of rests in polyphonic staffs (piano) with a snipped, which I found in the manual. It doesn't work. What's the mistake, any idea? Thanks very much! Cheers Martin PS: MY EXAMPLE: version "2.18.2" header { title = "merging rests" } global = { time 4/4 } Key = { key gmajor } %% ------ Piano ------ rhUpper = relative c'' { voiceOne Key R1*4 g4 r8 g r2 | } rhLower = relative c' { voiceTwo Key R1*4 b4 r8 b r2 | } lhUpper = relative c' { voiceOne Key R1*4 | g4 r8 g r2 | } lhLower = relative c { voiceTwo Key R1*4| d4 r8 d r2 | } PianoRH = { clef treble global set Staff.midiInstrument = #"acoustic grand" << new Voice = "one" rhUpper new Voice = "two" rhLower >> } PianoLH = { clef bass global set Staff.midiInstrument = #"acoustic grand" << new Voice = "one" lhUpper new Voice = "two" lhLower >> } piano = { << set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano" new Staff = "upper" PianoRH new Staff = "lower" PianoLH set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #"p" >> } score { << new PianoStaff = "piano" piano >> layout { context { Staff RemoveEmptyStaves } context { Score override BarNumber.padding = #3 skipBars = ##t } } } the SNIPPET doesn't work: version "2.18.2" new Score { << new Staff << s4-markup{ LilyPond default, rests in both voices. } relative c'' { c4 d e r | r2 e4 g | R1 } \ relative c'' { c4 b a r | r a g2 | R1 } >> new Staff with { override RestCollision.positioning-done = #merge-rests-on-positioning } << s4-markup{Merge rests as per standard notation practice.} relative c'' { c4 d e r | r2 e4 g | R1 } \ relative c'' { c4 b a r | r a g2 | R1 } >> } } layout {} midi {} } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
