I think it's there. It's not easy to distinguish between the in the

But it now seems to be working - I'm not sure why!
Don't understand your comment about R1 - I'm following the learning manual
which uses r for rests.

I've realised that there's a silly problem here, which isn't Lilypond's fault.
One really needs two different defaults for opening a .ly file: one to edit it
(Lilypad, Frescobaldi etc.) and one to engrave it (Lilypond). And Microsoft,
curse them, in Windows 7 and later removed the possibility

Peter: R is for full measure rests. Very likely, the examples from the
Learning Manual to which you refer contain shorter rests, less than a full
bar's duration. For them, indeed you should use r, which prints a normal
rest symbol according to the rhythmic value.
Full-bar rests should appear with

Phil,
The obvious thing would (IMHO) seem to be to add right-click menu items for
.ly files. Edit goes to Lilypad (or Frescobaldi etc), Engrave goes to
Lilypond. All with suitable arguments in the command lines. Unfortunately,
since MS withdrew
that far into Microsoft and Windows 7. I was asking for
documentation tweak suggestions.

I always use R*3/4*1 the 1 can be replaced by the number of bars rest you want
- 3/4 is the time signtaure.
You also need \set Score.skipBars = ##t if more than one bars rest.
R*x/y*n is better than any rn because the whole bar rest is centered in the bar
Learning Lilypond is easy at first

Thank you all very much for your help. It's not the most intuitive user

One problem I'm having is that it's not easy to find things in the

It is annoying, but part of our digital life. I don't think we will ever
get rid of this, get used to it.
That's why I deviate from the usual indentation for this mailing list
and put an extra space in front of the and signs (or I add
additional intent of one space):

Hi Joram,
But that alone doesn't always work, some email programs jump in, they
