The rest should be to the left, before a stem. Otherwise, it looks like
the rest should follow the note which precedes it. This is an obscure
rule, so you can find erroneous examples easily. I have seen
both correct and incorrect examples in old music of Sor. In both cases
there were many measures repeated with the same usage.
The newer and shorter z or s rest was invented before 1808 to make this
problem somewhat less likely. Regards, daveA
