Re: Half and whole rests with no staff lines

[SoundsFromSound]

Hello Michael,

Hmm, I'm not sure if you can add those lines to the rests; I always thought
LilyPond used the staff lines as a sort of a "home base" to decide where to
place the rest (either above or below the line as needed), according to its
duration --> half / whole.

I know you can change the style of rests (like normal, classical, etc) but
that too doesn't add the lines you are looking for either.  I guess worst
case: you could just add them in Inkscape post-LilyPond?  That's perfectly
doable, just add the lines manually - though not ideal, but maybe someone
can post here a simpler way to do what you're asking right in LilyPond.

Sorry, I wish I could help more.  Best of luck.

Ben
