Comment #38 on issue 3307 by address@hidden: Rest positions incorrect with  
non-standard line count

Regarding comment #37: your and my opinion about the proper choice are  
clearly opposed.  I find the off-center placement in  
<URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/input/regression/collated-files#tablature-full-notation.ly>  
disturbing, and it gets worse in four-string tablature.

There are two conceivable compromises: the first is designing a complete  
set of rests intended to have their optical weight centered while  
interacting differently with the bar lines.  This is too expensive to be  
implemented in due time.  The other is a slight tweaking of the vertical  
positioning of "unruly" rests so that they stay optically centered but  
their interaction with the bar lines is slightly different.

Would you consider that likely to improve your personal impression or would  
it do nothing worthwhile to address your aesthetic objection?

Apart from those conceivable adjustments, of which one is currently  
prohibitely expensive and the other appears marginal to me, we have no  
option but make a choice.

There are actually two different cases here with slightly different  
leaning.  The first is the use in some rhythmic staves (apparently not  
commonly used) with regularly spaced stafflines.  The other is the use in  
tablatures which have 1.5 staffline spacing which makes off-center rests  
even more noticeable.

Is there anybody who would want to further differentiate  
his "on-line"/"on-center" vote on any of those distinctions?  If not, we  
can just vote on the main case, and figure out whether we want further  
finetuning with that afterwards.
