Re: rests position in otherwise empty measure.txt

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you search for "rests" in the LSR, http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it, you will 
find an example called "Merging rests automatically, which contains 
some code that you can copy verbatim to your own file and
then use as described at the top of the file (click on the typeset 
music in the example, to see the code).
