So, -3 = maxima, -2 = longa, -1 = breve, 0 = whole, 1 = half, 2 = quarter, etc. That means setting the usable-duration-logs list to just '(0) means it can only use the whole rest symbol for the multi-measure rest. -- Aaron Hill ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

This says which rests can be used for a whole measure (depending on its length). -3 maxima -2 longa -1 breve (that’s default for 9/4 time) 0 whole/semibreve 1 half/minim 2 quarter/crotchet 3 eighth/quaver … Normally, you wouldn’t use positive logs (rest durations shorter than whole) even for shorter measures like 3/8. But longer measures like 4/2 or 9/4 will get longer rest durations because negative logs are allowed. Setting usable-duration-logs to '(0) allows only whole rests for measures of all lengths. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Whole measure rest in 9/4 time
Hi David,
What does usable-duration-logs mean? The NR internals section says:
usable-duration-logs (list):
'(-3 -2 -1 0)
List of duration-logs that can be used in typesetting the grob.
I am aware the NR is reference not tutorial, but this entry has very little
explanatory value. What do the logarithms do? Why do you set it to a list
containing 0? These manual entries are not illuminating because it just
says that the usable durations log list is a list of usable duration logs,
and that they can be used in typesetting. It would be great of we could
improve this entry at least. I am reminded of those all too common software
user manuals that have an entry for File->Open saying open a file and
that's it. Great.

Hello:
I am working on an organ piece by Vierne that is in 9/4 time.
The whole measure rest in 9/4 time is much narrower that what appears
in standard Durand edition of the 24 Pièces en style libre.
How do I make the whole measure rest in 9/4 time appear as it does in
4/4 time?
See the tiny example below. Measure 1 shows a whole measure rest in 9/4
time, and Measure 2 shows a whole measure rest in 4/4 time?
How do I make the whole measure rest in Measure 1 appear like the whole
measure rest in Measure 2?
I read the documentation on whole measure rests and snippets. I also
searched the Lilypond email archive and Google, but an answer did not
jump out at time, unless I overlooked somethings.
Thank to anyone who can provide an answer.

I asked a similar question earlier this year. Here is your answer:
\version "2.19.82"
{
\time 9/4
\override MultiMeasureRest.usable-duration-logs = #'(0)
R1*9/4 |
\numericTimeSignature \time 4/4 R1 |
}
