Re: Percussion and bars rest problem

[Bruce McIntyre]

Hi Ralph. 

This problem was bugging me too. Unfortunately the docs don't explain
that you have to force the drumvoice to be as long as the piece if you
want it to be robust...

Change {s1*2} to {s1*n} where n = how many bars you want the drumvoice
to persist for... 

Cheers,
Bruce.
