I am a little confused by capital R rests. There are two aspects that
confuse me. First, I don't understand why whole-measure small-r rests
are not centered in the measure. Compare:
{ \time 4/4 r1 r1 r1 }
{ \time 4/4 R1 R1 R1 }
As a life-long pianist, I'm used to whole measure rests being centered.
Is there a reference that suggests they should be left-aligned?
Second, in instrumental music, I have the need to attach some notation
to a whole rest (for example, a fermata), or a note like "Cadenza". I
can't attach a fermata to an R1, and it looks bad to have a fermata on
an uncentered rest.
