Re: missing half rest in pdf

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you are refering to the rest just before the comment in your
code, it's certainly present inthe printed output, but probably
not on the beat you expect to find it. The problem is that your
first ending ends in the middle of a bar (a typo?) which triggers
the bug http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=355.
As you can see in the bug report and in recent versions of the
manual, the workaround is to add an appropriate \partial
directive.

When I tried this in your example, I noted that there seems to
be more rhythmical problems in your file. I strongly encourage
you to use bar checks to easily detect such problems.
