I'm a bit amazed to see so many email in this thread and nobody provides 
the relevant answer, namely that \compressFullBarRests still exists in 
2.20.

In version 2.21, \compressFullBarRests has been renamed to 
\compressEmptyMeasures and the difference between this macro and the 
music function \compressMMRests has been clarified in 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/notation/writing-parts#compressing-empty-measures. 
As always (?!), this syntax change is automatically resolved if you run 
your .ly files through convert-ly.
