Perhaps I misunderstood. I quote from the snippet:

"When two (or more) voices on a staff share common rests, common 
engraving practice merges these rests into one. The following snippet 
takes care of that, automatically. Please note that multi-measure rests 
are not automatically combined. "

Should this say "...full-measure rests and multi-measure rests..." ?

Measures 2 and 3 of the snippet have full-measure rests that don't get 
combined (upper and lower staves are the same). I was assuming that this 
was a problem that hasn't been solved yet. Is it in fact common 
engraving practice to leave both overlapping rests in if they are 
full-measure rests? I think that it looks better to leave out both the 
full-measure rests in measures 2 and 3.

Thanks again guys. Sorry about the delay in responding. I don't get to 
the office every day anymore. :-))

If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be 
"profectionist".
Any form of incompitence is an athema to me.
Metathesis??? Don't ax me.
Just between you and I, the grammar used by Americans are getting worse.
I can only help but wonder what the cause of this might be.
It just ceases to amaze me how it could be the case, but mostly I could 
care less.
