Re: whole-measure rest with explicit vertical position

[Phil Holmes]

See my comment about the section on full measure rests.  It explains the 
following:

\new Staff<<
{
\override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #0
\clef "treble"
\time 4/4
R1 |
\override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #5
R1 |
\override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-5
R1 |
}
