Re: Whole-time rest and 3/4 time in 2.8.1

[Aaron VonderHaar]

You use \time to define the time signature, so maybe you could alter  
it so that it re-defines a whole-bar-rest function to use the  
appropriate multiplier.

For instance,
    \time 3/4
would have the side-effect of defining
    wholeBarRest = \times 3/4 {R1}
