Re: spacing of invisible rests

Dear Jaime,

Try using `\once \hideNotes r<duration>` and before that include


\once \override Rest.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 50)

Or another value, depending on how much space. As in the following example.

I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what you are looking for, could you hook up a minimum example of one such instance without the spacing, and describe how you would like space to be added?

-Will

\version "2.24.1"

{
  \once \override Rest.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 50)
  \once \hideNotes r1
}

Hi William,

Indeed what I am after is a s4 that takes some space, I am currently solving it with


things like:

\once \hide Rest  r16 \once \hide Rest r16
\once \hide Rest  r16 \once \hide Rest r16

which will take some more space, but it is not ideal.

best,

Jaime

    Dear Jaime,

    If you mean silent rests such as s4, s8 etc. I thought those do not
    actually take up any space, and are analogous to using \skip for that
    duration. As in the following example:

    \version "2.24.1"

    <<
        \new Staff {
          c'1 c'1
        }
        \new Staff {
          \repeat unfold 128 { s128 }
        }
      >>

    As for how to make measures longer, I usually override the
    NoteHead.extra-spacing-width (or same, for Rest) property to add more
    horizontal space before or after a note, but I'm not sure that will be
    the best option here.
