I haven't reviewed the code, but the description makes me wonder, is the
current behavior not a bug?  Gould says "In tradition engraving," which
appears to be her term for the style using church rests, "a rest bar
takes the space the graphic symbol needs ..." (Behind Bars, p.565).
Although she goes on to recommend against "tradition engraving," it
seems that the bars should be sized to the rests, not the other way
around.

Is it important to preserve the old algorithm at all?  If not, call it a
bug and throw it out.  If it is important to preserve, could it be
handled with a conversion rule so that your new algorithm can be the
default?
