Comment #3 on issue 3045 by [email protected]: Document changing default rest position in NR 1.2.2
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3045

The section in question states:

    Positioning multi-measure rests

Unlike ordinary rests, there is no predefined command to change the staff position of a multi-measure rest symbol of either form by attaching it to a note. However, in polyphonic music multi-measure rests in odd-numbered and even-numbered voices are vertically separated.

This makes very clear that there is a predefined command for changing the staff position of ordinary rests.

Now the section concerning MultiMeasureRest positioning uses overrides. Not \once\override, but indeed a fixed override.

I think it would make more sense to use a \tweak instead. For one thing, tweaks will actually work starting with 2.17.16 as of issue 3296. For another, they work identically for rests and multimeasure rests with regard to staff-position tweaking.

But that's a different issue anyway. Unless we get an explanation why a _different_ way of changing rest position would be wanted (permanent or temporary), I lean towards marking this issue as invalid.
