Issue 1798 not verified for whole note full measure rest (4/4 time)

[Xavier Scheuer]

Hi Mike, Colin, LilyPond fellows,

I'm sorry for this "one-year-later" intervention about this issue.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1798

A recent reply I did to Federico made me think about the fact that,
in 4/4 time signature, full measure rests take very little horizontal
space (well, *too little* actually, since it takes less horizontal
space than a whole note).  Then I remembered I already submitted a bug
report about this but could not find it in the open issue.

Finally I found it is closed/verified, but after I double-checked,
while I reckon issue #1798 is indeed verified in 3/4 time (Reinhold's
example, used by Colin to verify the issue), it is not the case in
4/4 time, as can be seen when compiling the code I submitted when
I originally reported this issue (attached again here, with output
from current 2.17.10 version), where FMR take more horizontal space
than with 2.15.7, but still less than a whole note!

Could you make full measure rests take as much horizontal space as
the equivalent note for every measure/FMR duration?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Xavier
