Hi Jack, the default duration is always updated by the last duration you wrote in LilyPond-syntax. This is a feature, no bug. If you really, really want to circumvent it, define variables in scheme: #(define whole_rest #{ r1 #}) \relative c' { c c c c } Though, this will become very tedious, very fast. Imho, it should be no big problem to do \relative c' { c4 c c c } Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
