Aha! Overriding Rest.stencil and changing the style there was
insufficient because ly::rest::width and other callbacks *bypass* the
stencil property, so my change of style had not yet been applied when
the X-extent was evaluated. Lilypond used the X-extent of the default
quarter rest instead of the classical quarter rest.
So this is a bug, right? Rest.X-extent etc. should yield the
dimensions of whatever Rest.stencil will return.
Either a bug or a side-effect of a design choice. We removed some
similar special-case treatment of stencils for issue 3749. Maybe we can
do so here as well.
It needs a bug report:
%{ Custom Rest stencils do not affect spacing
The dot overlaps the 16th rest with the custom stencil "16".
The X-extent of Rest seems to be independent of the actual stencil. %}
{ r16. r32
\once\override Rest #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\override Rest #'text = \markup\lower #0.8 "16"
r16. r32 r4 r2 }
