Hi,

Can someone tell me why skip-of-length work in this example
but mmrest-of-length doesn't?

cnotes = \relative c'' { \cadenzaOn c8[ d e f g] \cadenzaOff }
snotes = { $(skip-of-length cnotes) }
mnotes = { $(mmrest-of-length cnotes) }

\score{
   <<
     \new Staff \cnotes
     \new Staff \mnotes
     \new Staff \snotes
   >>
}

- why do you specify \cadenzaOn and -off?
- how would you write a multi measure rest corresponding to 5 eighths in the
other staff?

Because this is debugging an attempt to write a cadenza in a score. I only discovered skip-of-length and mmrest-of-length when trying to align parts to a cadenza and now I believe I need to use them for this purpose. This is a minimal example of something which doesn't seem to work as documented. Five eighth notes is a small subset of the actual cadenza.

Thanks for replying,

Paul
