Re: Partial and empty measures in a score

[Mats Bengtsson]

The total duration of the first measure has to match between the parts
(both to make LilyPond and the musicians happy). What do you want to
see in the typeset output? I would either use a partial measure in both
parts so the second part started with r8 r4 r2 or use a full measure in
both parts, so the first part started with r8 g bes g ...

If you absolutely want to typeset a full measure rest in the second part
and only a partial measure in the first part, you could read section
"Scaling durations" for a solution.
