I was unclear.  There is no change to the source of the test.  The branch has a 
LilyPond bug fix.  Running the test manually on master and on the branch and 
comparing manually shows that the fix causes a missing rest to appear in the 
output; however, "make check" on the branch fails to detect the difference.
