This doesn't have anything to do with multi-measure rests. It doesn't work because you had used << >>
(which indicate simultaneous music) instead of { }
(which indicate sequential music). With << >>
, all three commands (\compressFullBarRests
, R1*62
and \bar "|."
) are processed simultaneously, which means that \bar "|."
takes place at moment 0 (at the very beginning of music), not after rests. This will work:
\score {
\new Staff {
\compressFullBarRests
R1*62
\bar "|."
}
}
