Hi David,

Not sure what you mean here — other than the "A" and the "B" (both of which I
addressed in my modified snippet), what scripts were there in your original
snippet?

Yes. And…?

I believe both my example and my rule handle these situations without trouble.

Here again is my single rule:
Compress all contiguous blocks of MMRs uninterrupted by other notate-able
items (e.g., "material", "scripts", regular rests, etc.).
This rule, as I interpret it, is capable of handling everything brought up in
your response.
Put another way, please provide a snippet where that single rule cannot be
logically applied to give the output I'm suggesting.
Perhaps equivalently (for 99% of my purposes) would be this rule:
Simultaneous skip events should be ignored when compressing MMRs.
Is that easier to understand and/or implement?
Thanks,
Kieren.
