Adding some substance to this: Ted Ross, page 181 for 4/2 whole rests,
the 8th example down. Ross doesn't mention 3/1, but it's not exactly
common. Since 3/2 has a whole rest, logic suggests that 3/1 simply
needs a double whole rest. Otherwise the symbol for a beat rest is the
same as for a measure rest.
I agree with Johannes. In early 17th century music, 3/1 is probably the
most common ternary time signature, and a whole note rest won't do for
the whole measure, since it's also used for one beat.
It's a pity, by the way, that Finale can't have different default whole
measure rests in different sections of a same piece.
(I expect someone to step in now, as every time we discuss this, and say
that the values should be halved to 3/2...)
Nah, I think this post is more the sort that deserves the "why would you
want to do that?" reply along with a 3-week discussion of the relative
merits of using the measure-rest symbols vs. the large black bar,
eventually ending in someone pointing out the similarity of a whole
measure rest to Hitler's mustache, at which point issues of netiquette
will be raised, resulting in several long-time members resigning in
disgust. :-)
