Re: Drum Shuffle

[Mark Polesky]

Roberto,

Sadly, 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Beams#Manual-beams
says: "The autobeamer will not put beams
over rests..."

However, you can "funnel two different
music 
expressions into one context", explained here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Creating-contexts#Creating-contexts

Below is an example of how you might use this.

Hope this helps.
