Hi, I am perfectly ripping my hair out trying to get multimeasure rests to display properly in another staff, over a cadenza. Reduced example illustrates.
I don't get the barcheck errors if I replace the mm-rests with spacers, but then I don't get the whole-rest symbols in the empty bars, and that also looks wrong. (But if I do a spacer for the cadenza bar, and then go back to R(something), the R gives barcheck errors.) If I use \time 5/4 before R1*5/4 and \time 4/4 after, I *still* get barcheck errors (#6) -- *and* I get time signatures in the cadenza bar, which I don't want. I've also tried #(ly:export (mmrest-of-length aVariableHoldingMyCadenza)) but I get barcheck problems with this too. Any hacks much appreciated. Thanks.
