And what international convention adopted this "rule?" Which rule number is it, anyway, and what book can we llok it up in?
If we are not ever to syncopate rests, then I gather that the following: 16th-note/8th-rest/16th-note is never to be written? What's up with that, it's written all the time. I very rarely see that syncopation written 16th-note/16th-rest/16th-rest/16th-note.
