Once I end up exporting into LilyPond, and editing the exported LilyPond
source,
so that rest became repositioned. The LilyPond syntax is "a4\rest".

It would be wonderful, if the note styles list "Classical, Cross, Mensural,
Triangle" could include also "Rest".
That would be similar to what LilyPond uses: "a4\rest", and solve the
problem from the notation side.
Anyway the problem seems to be notation specific.
As a side effect one would also want that if the note style would be "Rest"
(i) no audible midi event would be created in playback
(ii) the "rest-note" would be treated in some reasonable way in (a) matrix
view, in (b) the preview of segment view and in (c) rulers.
