compressFullBarRests is simply an alias for set Score.skipBars = ##t - presumably to make it easier to use/remember.

Hi Phil,

Sorry for the confusion. What I don't understand is if there is a difference in use between:

\set Score.skipBars = ##t

and

\compressFullBarRests

compressFullBarRests does what it says: where there is a section of music that is only full measure rests, they are amalgamated into a single symbol.  It is generally used in instrumental parts.

Hi all,

Please excuse me if this is an obvious question, but can anybody please explain to me when I should use "skip bars" or when I should use "compressFullBarRests"? Is there a "best practice" model I should be following?

Many thanks,

Craig
