Re: Display "r2" as r1? -- SOLVED!

[PMA]

Here's my snake-oil function for the centered whole-rest.
In 4/4 & proportional notation, it's working like a charm!

REST = {
   s2
   \once \override NoteHead  #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
   \once \override NoteHead #'text = \markup { \musicglyph #"rests.0" }
   \once \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
   e'2
}

Thanks for listening.
