Posicionar los silencios multicompás
A diferencia de los silencios normales, no existe una instrucción
predefinida para modificar la posición predeterminada de un
símbolo de silencio multicompás sobre el pentagrama, adjuntándolo
a una nota, independientemente de cuál sea su forma. Sin embargo,
en la música polifónica los silencios multicompás de las voces de
numeración par e impar están separados verticalmente. La
colocación de los silencios multicompás se puede controlar como se
ve a continuación:
\relative c'' {
% Multi-measure rests by default are set under the fourth line
R1
% They can be moved using an override
\override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = -2
R1
\override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = 0
R1
\override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = 2
R1
\override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = 3
R1
\override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = 6
R1
\revert MultiMeasureRest.staff-position
\break
% In two Voices, odd-numbered voices are under the top line
<< { R1 } \\ { a1 } >>
% Even-numbered voices are under the bottom line
<< { a1 } \\ { R1 } >>
% Multi-measure rests in both voices remain separate
<< { R1 } \\ { R1 } >>
% Separating multi-measure rests in more than two voices
% requires an override
<< { R1 } \\ { R1 } \\
\once \override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = 0
{ R1 }
>>
% Using compressed bars in multiple voices requires another override
% in all voices to avoid multiple instances being printed
\compressMMRests
<<
\revert MultiMeasureRest.direction
{ R1*3 }
\\
\revert MultiMeasureRest.direction
{ R1*3 }
>>
}
