I am a little confused by
capital R rests. There are two aspects that confuse me. First, I
don't understand why whole-measure small-r rests are not centered
in the measure. Compare:
{ \time 4/4 r1 r1 r1 }
{ \time 4/4 R1 R1 R1 }
As a life-long pianist, I'm used to whole measure rests being
centered. Is there a reference that suggests they should be
left-aligned?
Second, in instrumental music, I have the need to attach some
notation to a whole rest (for example, a fermata), or a note like
"Cadenza". I can't attach a fermata to an R1, and it looks bad to
have a fermata on an uncentered rest.
