spacer rest *

[Gianmaria Lari]

I don't understand the difference between s8 8 8 and s8*3.

For example have a look to the following code that engrave two scores:

\version "2.19.81"

rh = \fixed c'{g8 8 8 8}

dyn = { s8 \> 8 8 8 \!}

{ << \rh \new Dynamics \dyn >> }

dyn = { s8 \> 8*3 \!}

{ << \rh \new Dynamics \dyn >> }

These are the resulting scores:

I expected that dynamics would be the same. Why they are not?

Thank you, g.
