I have  one big problem with this patch. It adds a lot of complexity
to the rest-engraver, only for the sake of mensural rests. That is not
acceptable. Practically speaking, I don't understand why this stuff
has to be in the translator section. Why can't we have extra
grob-formatting functions that deal with mensural rests? Formatting
stuff should go into the back-end, not in the engravers.

last time I looked ,  I thought the rest ledgers were either thinner
or thicker. Perhaps I should look again.

I'll look into it.
