Hi,

There seem to be diverging opinions as to whether a whole bar rest in
a meter exceeding 4/4 should be realized using \pause or not.  While
the only written source cited so far, Werner Icking's table taken from
Chlapik, does indeed propose a \pause, I'm sure many among us have
seen this done differently.

(While I'm at it, thank you to all who proposed a way to better center
the \PAuse symbol in the bar.  I have already turned in the score to
my conductor who was very content with it as it stood, but I'll be
sure to profit from the hints later on.)

I would like to see, in a possible later version of PMX, a possibility
to redefine the symbol used for rp (`a whole bar rest'), as opposed to
r0 (`a whole rest which means 4/4 or 2/2 or 1/1 in a longer bar').  --
Don, I'm not sure whether your new macros are doing exactly this.  If
they do, I'd be very glad, and even more so if a possible redefinition
yielding a centered \PAuse was cited in PMX's manual.

Thanks again for all your helpful suggestions,
        Alex
