Re: bug report: partcombine and multi-measure rests

Hi Gilberto,

there’s no point in discussing off-list.

It is inconsistent, that’s true, since R1 is taken into account for its 
full length, whereas R1*N isn’t. Seems like the barline/end of measure 
makes the difference.
But it’s unambiguous, which means that the reader will know either way 
that the second voice is silent, whether through a rest or through a 
textual Solo [I] indication.
I forgot to mention: You can change this indication using
\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    soloText = "Solo I"
  }
}
– at least I might like that better.

Agreed.

If no one else will give some more founded comment on this, I’ll raise 
an issue from this.

Yours, Simon
