question about multi measure rests from a blind user

[Daniel Contreras]

Hello all, 
I was just curious as to what the difference is between the commands 
\compressFullBarRests and \set Score.skipBars = ##t ? 
I arranged some salsa charts that were performed over the weekend, My friend 
who played trumpet mentioned that I had a rest that was 32 bars long. He told 
me that the rests were not written in compressed form. What I had in my LY file 
was something like …. 
\score { \compressFullBarRests 
 music…. 
 } 
 Am I missing something else? Thanks for any help.
