Hi Kieren,
how do you think that this feature is more useful than \tweaking the
y-offset? If the documentation explains how to move a rest, the
officially recommended way should be using \tweak in my opinion. It's
unclear to me what's the use case of the option of adding a note to a
\rest (which in itself sounds like a contradiction). If we follow the
WSIWYM paradigm, you can't possibly mean to put a "note-rest"
somewhere. Perhaps not pointing that out or removing the feature
altogether is better in the long run?
Reread Kieren's original message; I think you are exactly agreeing
with him :-)
The transposition problem can be worked around using
\version "2.23.12"
untransposable = \withMusicProperty untransposable ##t \etc
\transpose c f \voices 1,2 <<
{ \untransposable c''8\rest b e' d' }
\\
{ g16^1 f^2 g a }
>>
but of course, for this sort of use case, \tweak Y-offset is better in
the first place. I can't think of use cases where \rest is really what
you want, as opposed to \tweak Y-offset. Unless someone comes up with
an argument for it, I'd support a patch showing \tweak Y-offset in the
documentation and moving \rest to a footnote or undocumenting it altogether.
Whether its outright removal is desirable is another question.
This is veering into lilypond-devel territory, maybe we should continue the
discussion there? Alternatively, I'll be happy to continue on a patch
on GitLab :-)
Cheers,
Jean
