Hi David,

> Completion_rest_engraver is there.

Ah! Sorry I didn’t think to look. I guess this thread made me assume it must 
not exist.

> It doesn't change r into R.

So this is the point of discussion/contention?

Okay, so…

%%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
{ \time 5/8 c''8*12 }

\score {
    { \time 5/8 c''8*12 }
    \layout {
        \context {
            \Voice
            \remove "Note_heads_engraver"
            \consists "Completion_heads_engraver"
        }
    }
}
%%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Here, the engraver properly turns the *12 into two full measures of 
note-duration plus whatever’s left over (i.e., a quarter). If there existed a 
note-head equivalent of R (i.e., “a full measure of note-duration, regardless 
of time signature”), would we not want Completion_heads_engraver to use it? (I 
certainly would!) So how is the rest situation different?

Thanks for any clarification you can give.
Kieren.
