If Mats' trick serves you, then it's ok.  Otherwise please let me know,
then I will go ahead with adding the sponsored feature.

I realized that Mats' trick would work in principle, but I don't like it (a) because it's a dirty hack, and (b) because it doesn't help me in my particular case: In Jazz, people often use the percent sign to indicate "play something". In the particular tune I tried to engrave, the lead sheet starts out with a percent sign in the very first measure. Thus, the trick doesn't work for me.

Where did I leave my brain when I wrote that it's not possible?
Try

{
  \override MultiMeasureRest #'print-function =
    #Multi_measure_rest::percent
  R1
}


I expect that it will also work with 2.2 , you have to add \score{\notes {}}.


I added this example to the 2.7 manual, and will not do the sponsored feature we talked about earlier. I would be very glad if you could make a small donation for my time ([EMAIL PROTECTED] via paypal).
