You can write R1*48 in the *part*, but if a shared variable (say, a global with other changes in it) is simultaneous-ed with it, the R1*48 gets broken by Lilypond. This is what I'm trying to avoid.

So ultimately you're supporting my argument/request: If one writes R1*48 in a part, one should see a 48-measure MMRs in the output.  =)

Thanks,
Kieren.
