Prevent MMR breaking

[Pierre-Luc Gauthier]

Hi there,

Is there a way to prevent multi-measure-rest (MMR) breaking?

I often use "s"s (e.g. s1*4 ) to trigger events, cue notes, etc,  and
some of them do not display anything at all (and it's ok). My problem
arise when I use MMR combined with multiple s expressions. Somehow,
s1*2 =/= {s1 s1} and I don't understand why nor have I found a
workaround.

In my MWE bellow, I would expect the MMR to be whole (6 bars) but
instead, it is spliced in 3 MMRs of 2 bars.

\version "2.19.55"

\new Staff \new Voice <<
  \compressFullBarRests
  { R1*6 }
  {
    s1*2 | % MMR breaker
    s1*2 | % MMR breaker
  }
>>

Any thoughts on how to solve this?
