As I said, I'm just making suggestions based on observations. If you
were to remove the clef and any signatures (like those band parts
that aggressively save X-space), then there would be an optional
barline or bracket at the start of the staff, followed by r16 after
a tasteful space. So, as far as NullVoice is concerned, those
decorations don't exist, and it looks as if even the tasteful space
before the r16 disappears as well.

Cheers,
David.
