Well, yes, sorry.
The problem is that I have had serious problems building the damn manual
- hoping they get fixed when I get redhat up and running on my own
computer.
At the time being (back when I added the classical rest) you could also
say \property Staff.Rest \override #'style = #'mensural in order to get
mensural rests, and this wasn't documented anywhere, either.
We started a diskussion of a reimplementation of the way of setting
styles of various grobs (rests, noteheads, clefs, etc) - but we didn't
really come up with anything... You can scan back to about february (i
guess) to read the discussion.
