Hello.
When two voices (in one staff) both have rests of the same duration, is there an
easy way to join these rests?
I searched the lilypond-docs and didn't find an answer to that old question.
For two voices in g-clef it is possible to write
<<
{ a8 g a4 b \rest a | }
//
{ f8 e f4 b \rest f | }
>>
right?
But for two reasons*) I would prefer something like
\joinRests
<<
{ a8 g a4 r a | }
//
{ f8 e f4 r f | }
>>
*)
1. if transposing or changing the clef the rest is no more in the middle of the
staff
2. its to much to write
btw. in the docs, I didnt find much about rests at all (at least in the german
version, which I studied today (and btw. there is used the word "Bindebogen" in
opposite to "Legatobogen". I would call that "Haltebogen" while I would
understand "Bindebogen" and "Legatobogen" synonym.))
Thanks for a hint.
greetings
Werner
