If the vertical spacing changes, this would required manual adjustment:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.24.3"
\layout {
\context {
\PianoStaff
\accepts PianoMMR
\override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-staff-spacing.padding = #14
}
}
musicOne = {
\clef bass
\key f \major
\time 3/8
\partial 8
\omit MultiMeasureRestNumber
r8 | R4.*7 |
}
musicTwo = {
\clef bass
\key f \major
\time 3/8
\partial 8
r8 | \offset MultiMeasureRestNumber.Y-offset 1 R4.*7 |
}
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \compressMMRests \musicOne
\new Staff \compressMMRests \musicTwo
>>
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
If you want to have it centred automagically, I’d suggest defining a new
context, and omitting the MMRNumber from both upper and lower staff contexts:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.24.3"
\layout {
\context {
\name PianoMMR
\type "Engraver_group"
\inherit-acceptability PianoMMR Dynamics
\consists "Axis_group_engraver"
\override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = #CENTER
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 1) (minimum-distance . 1) (padding . 0.5)
(stretchability . 1))
\consists "Multi_measure_rest_engraver"
\hide MultiMeasureRest
\override MultiMeasureRest.Y-extent = #empty-interval
\override MultiMeasureRestNumber.Y-offset = #-1
}
\context {
\PianoStaff
\accepts PianoMMR
\override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-staff-spacing.padding = #14
}
}
musicOne = {
\clef bass
\key f \major
\time 3/8
\partial 8
r8 | R4.*7 |
}
musicTwo = {
\clef bass
\key f \major
\time 3/8
\partial 8
r8 | R4.*7 |
}
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \with { \omit MultiMeasureRestNumber } \compressMMRests \musicOne
\new PianoMMR \musicOne
\new Staff \with { \omit MultiMeasureRestNumber } \compressMMRests \musicTwo
>>
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Hope that helps!
Kieren.

Nice, Knute, thanks, that gives me what I wanted.
I had had something similar in mind, but wasn’t able to carry it out.

This is how I would do it:
%%%
\version "2.24.3"
musicOne = {
\clef bass
\key f \major
\time 3/8
\partial 8
\omit MultiMeasureRestNumber
r8 | R4.*7 |
}
musicTwo = {
\clef bass
\key f \major
\time 3/8
\partial 8
r8 | \offset MultiMeasureRestNumber.Y-offset 1 R4.*7 |
}
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \compressMMRests \musicOne
\new Staff \compressMMRests \musicTwo
>>
%%%
The key points are omitting the multi measure rest number in the right hand
and moving the number up in the left.
