Until I reread the manual I had forgotten that spacer rests are really
called "invisible rests", which exactly describes what they do.  Perhaps
we should change the documentation to have most of the text read
"invisible rest".

Well, to my mind, that phrase only ambiguously describes what they do.
Because there are two visual issues here: whether & what the glyph is;
and whether space - to be filled or left empty - is being made for it.
"Invisible rest" doesn't settle both of these.

Come to think of it, "*spacer rest*" instead actually comes closer --
assuming anyway somewhere a strict definition.
