I would have to object to that one.
Hi Ryan,
That's why I said I "might even consider" the practice, not "hells
yeah, I'd put dotted whole rests all over the damn place!" [grin]
In the vast majority of cases, I'd avoid it, for most of the same
reasons you describe. All I meant was that I wouldn't rule it out
entirely! I sometimes (rarely, but it happens) find use for a whole
rest indicating four beats of rest in 5/4.
Cheers,
