You are on my list as aesthetic guru (+ good engraving practices).
And also because Gmail's "Consider including" feature suggested me to
Cc you (and finally because it usually makes the person reply to the

Thank you Phil.

Since it seems I'm not the only one to consider that Full measure rest
should take more horizontal space (as much horizontal space as a note
of the same duration), could someone open a new issue for this on the
tracker?
Thanks in advance.
