Duration shortcut not working for rests

2024-02-03 Thread William Ashton
Hello all, Am I misunderstanding something, or is this a bug? Since the "r4" at the start of the second measure is fully qualified, I was expecting the "4"s that follow it to be quarter rests as well, but I'm seeing "c"s in the rendered output. \version "2.25.6" { c'4 r r r % The middle

Hi William, If you want to write more rests, the syntax is r4 r r b Much like c'4 r e f are all quarter notes and a quarter rest. Lilypond remembers the duration, but needs to know what to print with that duration. Best wishes, Jakob On 03.02.2024 22.55, William Ashton wrote: Hello

Ah, that makes sense. I can see how the behavior would be useful there. I think part of the surprise is that when writing \new Dynamics voices I will only use spacer rests, and typically only specify the "s" the first time, leaving the rest of the piece described with just durations. \new
