Re: problem with full-measure rests in differently time-scaled staves

[Adam James Wilson]

Sorry about my previous "garbage" post - I was in a hurry and replied
to a digest email rather than to my previous send.

I had intended to correct the post to which the title of this email
correctly refers: the snippet included with the post actually shows
*9* bars in the space of four, not 3 as I mistakenly wrote originally.

Thanks,
Adam
