David,

Thanks for your reply!
There is a problem though when using \relative mode:

\relative c'' {
   c g c g | %1
   g' b, \rest f g | %2
}

When I change b, \rest to r4 it produces another result because of the use of
\relative!

\relative c'' {
  c g c g | %1
  g' r4 f g | %2
}

See what I mean?

I hope it can be done via a scheme or something...
