Measure 25 shows why the centering of measure rests is such a bad idea, as I said some years ago. When you have three parts on one staff instead of two it is really really nasty. It is not the modern standard, and Dave Mendenhall, who used to do typesetting for Hal Leonard, would never have done it that way. HL used to publish the Ross book IIRC, and they published an abridged version later. I wish I could talk more people out of centering rests. I thought they were really cool until I met some real typesetters, who explained the error of my ways, using the Ross book to do it. This example is not entirely typeset. There may be some transfer symbols used, but the tenuto marks and the whole rests and probably the stems are drawn in by hand. Sorry, it's at least partially photoengraving. It's not necessarily made in the USA either. Could be Canadian, Korean, Mexican, Irish, Italian..... Please forbear to argue this. If you want to center rests, center them. That'll show Ross.
