Feedback requested: measure counter over compressed MM rest

[Jean Abou Samra]

Hi,

The measure counter currently understands a
compressed MM rest as a single measure:

\version "2.23.3"

\new Voice \with {
  \consists Measure_counter_engraver
}
\compressMMRests {
  \startMeasureCount
  c'1
  R1*5
  c'1
  c'1
  \stopMeasureCount
}

This has been registered as an issue in
the tracker:

https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6124

I'd like to fix it, but I have no idea
how -- I am not a user of the measure
counter myself. What should LilyPond print
in this case?

If you use the measure counter and have an
opinion, you are welcome to voice it on the
bug page.

Thanks,
Jean
