Hi, all.
I am writing a leadsheet that has an intro which the lead instrument
doesn't play, so rests are needed. I'd like to compress the rests, so
\compressEmptyMeasures works well. However, when I add \chordmode, it
appears to override the empty measure compression, which does make
sense as the bars aren't empty any more.
My question is how can I place a chord over those first compressed bars
without expansion? I'd like to have compression and chords :-)
Thanks

(In the snippet you can see the difference if you comment out the "\new
ChordNames" line.)

\version "2.22"
tune = \relative c'' {
\clef treble
\compressEmptyMeasures { R1*4 }
}
harmony = \chordmode {
g1:m7 s1 s1 s1
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \harmony % comment out this line
\new Staff \tune
>>
}
