According to Gould breve rests should hang from a one line staff
(RhythmicStaff) as semibreve rests do. Also, there is a comment in
multi-measure-rest.cc saying
```
// Staff position is somewhat icky regarding its definition for
// compatibility reasons. It is intended to be the baseline of
// a breve rest. However, when the staff space is more than
// single space (like with tablature), it looks better if all
// rests are actually hanging. So staff position, in reality,
// is the semi-breve position - 2. Everything else is
// calculated from there.
```
This confirms what Gould writes. But the code applies only to MMRs with a
measure-count > 1.
That leads to inconsistent behaviour: MultiMeasureRest breve glyphs hang, but
not for single measures. Rest breve glyphs don’t hang. Instead, all breve rests
should hang.
```
\version "2.19.80"
music = {
\compressFullBarRests
r1 R1 R\breve
\time 4/2
r\breve R\breve R\longa
\time 8/2
r\longa R\longa
}
\new TabStaff \with { \tabFullNotation } \music
\new RhythmicStaff \music
\new Staff \music
```
