[Lilypond-auto] [LilyIssues-auto] [testlilyissues:issues] #3208 Wrong MultiMeasureRest glyph

I changed my mind: Allowing shorter rests doesn’t harm—no one has to use positive numbers in usable-duration-logs but if someone really wants to do it even though Gould et al. disadvise, we shouldn’t take away this functionality.

This also means that we don’t need such a boolean grob property: Instead you can just override usable-duration-logs to #'(0) as it has been done in every single discussion about this property that I could find on the internet. Yay, backwards-compatibility! ;)

Of course we could discuss whether it would be nice to have a shorthand like

modernMMRs = \override MultiMeasureRest.usable-duration-logs = #'(0)

next to compressFullBarRests and expandFullBarRests in ly/property-init.ly.

Concerning the default value of expand-limit: This doesn’t really belong here but would be another issue. I’ll send a feature request to the bug list for discussion.

as follows:

With measures longer than two whole notes LilyPond chooses different
glyphs for MultiMeasureRest.

\version "2.17.12"

\new Staff {
  \compressFullBarRests

  \time 7/4
  R1*7/4
  R1*7/4*2

  \break

  \time 9/4
  R1*9/4
  R1*9/4*2
  \break

  \time 18/4
  R1*18/4
  R1*18/4*2
}

Discussion on the user-list:

According to Gould LilyPond's default seems to be correct.
Werner objects.

At least there's need for discussion, I think.

Attached an image showing "LilyPond's default" vs "Correct?"
