Re: Hidden rests without visible space

Hi Aaron,

> The \override doesn't seem to make any difference to the output.

Well, since you applied it to a skip (and not a rest), I'm not  
surprised!  ;-)

I've attached a sample of what I was suggesting.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.

%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.57"
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }

original = \relative c'' {
        c4 d s2 | e4 f g a
}

fixed = \relative c'' {
        \override Rest #'transparent = ##t
        \override Rest #'X-extent = #'(2 . -2) c4 d r2 | e4 f g a
        \override Rest #'X-extent = #'(1 . -1) c,4 d r2 | e4 f g a
        \override Rest #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0) c,4 d r2 | e4 f g a
}

\markup { "ORIGINAL:" }
\score { \original }

\markup { "FIXED (THREE WIDTHS):" }
\score { \fixed }
