New in version 2.0.
Replace n edge elements in container with big-endian rests:
abjad> staff = Staff("c'8 d'8 e'8 f'8 g'8 a'8")
abjad> f(staff)
\new Staff {
c'8
d'8
e'8
f'8
g'8
a'8
}
abjad> containertools.replace_n_edge_elements_in_container_with_big_endian_rests(staff, -5)
Staff{3}
abjad> f(staff)
\new Staff {
c'8
r2
r8
}
Return container.
Changed in version 2.0: renamed containertools.replace_first_n_elements_in_container_with_big_endian_rests() to containertools.replace_n_edge_elements_in_container_with_big_endian_rests().
