Re: Doing some strange stuff with multi-measure rests

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi,

here are some hints, how might tweak the output:

  \new RhythmicStaff {
    b'1 | \afterGrace { % we place the drum-roll on a grace position
      % override the stencil for the MultiMeasure stencil
      \once \override MultiMeasureRest.stencil = #(lambda (grob) (let 
((stil (ly:multi-measure-rest::print grob)))

(ly:stencil-scale stil .5 1)))
      \mmrferm R1*2
    } { % shift the drum-roll right
        \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #1 b'2:32\< } | b'1\!
  }

The drum roll is small, because its a grace - I don't know how to do it, 
but it should be easy to solve.

HTH
