compressing full-bar rests

[N. Andrew Walsh]

Hi List,

I have a general question. Has compression of full-bar rests been somehow disabled? I have the following score:

\version "2.21.1"

global= {
 \time 4/8
  }
%% (and whatever other settings I want)

oDAMusic =  \relative c'' {
    \key f \minor
    R2*12

    | %13
    r4 bes
}
\score {
\new Staff = "Staff_oboeDA" <<
      \global \oDAMusic
    >>
}

-------------------------

The 'R2*12' statement used to compress down into a multi-measure rest, but now it's writing them all out. Is this a bug of some sort?

Thanks for the help,

A

Hi Andrew !

Is it possible that you forgot to write \compressFullBarRests before R2*12 ?

When I do that, I get an error about an "unrecognized escape string" (even though it comes up in the auto-complete popup).

Is there something wrong specifically with 2.21.1, that it doesn't recognize full-bar-rest compression? 

Cheers,

A

I'm stuck with 2.20.0, I leave the thread in the hands of more expert and up to date users. Good luck !

See [1] and [2].  It's \compressEmptyMeasures now.

That was it! Thank you. I wonder why that doesn't show up in the auto-complete popup.

In Frescobaldi?
Because Frescobaldi so far supports only the syntax of the latest
stable release. But the quickly module, replacing the ly module, will
support multiple versions. See the discussion here:
