Re: Configurable Rests

Just to reiterate: I use 2.19 for all my work, large and small (e.g., my 
current project is a 9-minute wind symphony for 36 players), and very rarely 
run into any problems which are related to the "stable versus unstable” 
question.

Far more often (read: almost always), the unstable version gives me features 
and fixes that the stable version doesn’t have, but which I either need or 
want. In particular, the partcombine mechanism (while admittedly nowhere near 
perfect) is working wonderfully for me on this particular project, and I can’t 
imagine engraving this score without the extra features in the unstable version.

This is not to try to pressure you one way or the other — you should make the 
decision that makes you the most comfortable — but I did want to communicate my 
experience, so that you can have more information with which to make your 
decision.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
