I filed this as a bug as, in my experience, entering a whole note in any
software (I use Noteworthy Composer) will give the regular four beats, but a
whole note /rest/ will fill an entire bar's complement of beats, regardless of
time signature.

I've scrutinised several relevant sections in the
documentation, and I I can't seem to locate any references to inserting a rest
that fills up all the beats in a bar.  In the piece that I'm writing (in 3/4)
I've had to use either three quarter-note rests, or a dotted half-note rest --
both look wrong.
