Re: one-line percussion staff, barlines, bar rests and dynamics

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's always better if you can supply a complete (but small) example.

Why not use the RhythmicStaff context if you only want a one-line
staff? See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Showing-melody-rhythms.html#Showing-melody-rhythms
This will give you bar lines.

However, I don't understand why the bar lines are there when you set
line-count = #2 or higher but disappear when you set line-count = #1.


For the whole bar rest, it seems that you can fool LilyPond to print
what you want with
\override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-0.001
whereas setting it to zero gives the result you report.
