" Do people object to using a whole rest symbol as a in 2/4 or
" 3/8 time? Or is that OK since you would never have a 4-beat rest, so no
" ambiguity could arise. What about a full-bar rest in 6/4 or 3/2?
My personal thought is that whenever a time is less than 4/4 it is
strongly preferred to use a whole rest symbol as a full-bar rest .
I am also fairly sure than in 4/2, since you have a breve rest to
put a full-bar rest, the meaning of a whole is just 2/2.
I am not really sure about 6/4 and especially 3/2, but if I wanted to
have a full-bar rest, I would probably code a dotted whole.
