Greetings. How would one best control the horizontal spacing/length of a
multi-measure rest?
I am compiling a book filled with numerous, shorter exercises that
would, ideally, be placed all on one line. Many of them begin and end
with a two measure rest and I need make those as horizontally short as
possible to give the notes and dynamics enough room on the page.
I have tried using the method here -
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/writing-rests#full-measure-rests
- but it didn't work.
I have an example attached.
