compressFullBarRests is simply an alias for set Score.skipBars = ##t - 
presumably to make it easier to use/remember.

  Hi Phil,


  Sorry for the confusion. What I don't understand is if there is a difference 
in use between:


  \set Score.skipBars = ##t




  and




  \compressFullBarRests

    compressFullBarRests does what it says: where there is a section of music 
that is only full measure rests, they are amalgamated into a single symbol.  It 
is generally used in instrumental parts.

      Hi all, 


      Please excuse me if this is an obvious question, but can anybody please 
explain to me when I should use "skip bars" or when I should use 
"compressFullBarRests"? Is there a "best practice" model I should be following?


      Many thanks,


      Craig
