Re: Again: Whole Bar Rests and Unmetered Music

[Dmytro O. Redchuk]

Hello again :-)

  For some reason nobody answered, but i couldn't find an answer by myself.
  That's why i'm here again, sorry.

  Please, can anybody answer me:
  1. Shouldn't whole bar rest be semibreve (whole) rest for any actual
time except 4/2?
  2. How can i tell lilypond to "draw" whole rest instead of breve (double)?

Thank you very much.
