rests are verticaly misplaced

Ross (p174) says that when you need to put a whole rest outside the staff,  
you should find a convenient place and draw the rest below a ledger line  
(in the singular).  His example places this ledger line at a height that  
would fall halfway between the ledgers we use for notes. LilyPond is doing  
fine on this point.

One must pitch half and whole rests to a note that sits on a line, not in a  
space.
If you do so, then half and whole rests are distinguished; if you do not,  
the rest looks strangely-placed, and not quite like a rest of the other  
duration.
