Which makes sense, I guess.
Another thing: Whole rests have two distinct, different
interpretations in printed music. They sometimes mean "rest the same
amount of time as a whole note", but more often than not, they mean
"rest one measure". This is the same thing with a 4/4 or 2/2 meter,
of course, but when typesetting music in other meters, e.g. 3/4, I
have had to use ugly hacks such as this (silly) example demonstrates:
r = \melodic { s4 r1*1/4 s4*1/1 }
sillytune = \melodic { \meter 3/4 ; c4 e g | \r | g4 e c }
There's another reason for using such an ugly hack: Whole rests
should, at least in the "whole measure rest" interpretation, be
printed on the middle of the measure, not on the beginning (which
would be logical, and which Lilypond does).
