Which is really curious because you often see 1/4 note, 1/2 note, 1/4 note.
There seems to be no real "rule" which is always followed. In the case
of the 1/2 rest for beats 2 and 3 I can understand that people are
trying to show the middle of the measure (in 4/4) yet that desire to
show the middle of the measure is lacking when they use a 1/2 note
instead of a rest.
Go figure!
