Comment #3 on issue 3687 by tdanielsmusic: only full-measure-rests should  
be able to compress
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3687

Well, I've not been overwhelmed with responses, but at least no one has  
said this is a stupid idea.  Let me flesh it out a little more.  Here's  
what I propose:

1. Add a new \compressMMRests music function as sketched out above, whose  
action is limited to full-measure rests only.

2. Amend the docs to use the new function instead of \compressFullBarRests  
and \expandFullBarRests.

3. Rename \compressFullBarsRests and \expandFullBarsRests to  
\compressEmptyMeasures and \expandEmptyMeasures, which more accurately  
express what setting skipBars actually does, together with a convert-ly  
entry to cover this change.

4. Perhaps modify the use of skipBars in Ancient music to use  
\compressEmptyMeasures and \expandEmptyMeasures instead.
