Re: HOW TO PLACE VERTICALLY CENTERED RESTS ?

[Fairchild]

Mats -

Now, in \time 2/4,
 r2 produces a horizontally off-center rest,
 R2 produces a horizontally centered rest,
 c2\rest produces a horizontally off-center rest, vertically positioned at the position of note "c".

Controlling a horizontally centered rest with a specified vertical position can be accomplished with:
 \override MultiMeasureRest  #'staff-position = #-1 R2

Would it be a reasonable feature request to ask that the dual control be simplified to
 c2\Rest
using the note position for vertical control, and \Rest with a capital "R" to designate horizontal centering?  This would only apply to whole- and multi-measure rests.

If you agree, please forward to lilypond-devel.

Thanks.
