Re: Vertical position of whole-measure rest

[Jonas Müthing]

Hello Frank,

an R is not a rest for Lilypond but a multi-measure rest. Therefore  
you need to change the staff-position of that with the \override  
command (to be inserted directly before the R:

\override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-1

The number indicates the number of staff-spaces that the rest is moved  
(one down). You can even use the same command for normal rests but  
have to change MultiMeasureRest to Rest in that case.

Cheers,

Jonas
