Whole measure rests and grace notes

2012-11-22 03:50 pm

If I create a couple of bars of music, the first of which has a Whole Measure Rest then a grace note, and the second has some "normal" music, all in a time other than 4/4, then the bar with the WMR and grace has the wrong time value - the WMR is treated as a true semi-breve rest, not a rest equal to a bar's length. This seems to me a bug - a grace note should not alter the interpretation of a WMR.

I have no opinion on the bug part. Here are a couple of ways to get what you want:
