Won't that give a single stem when the voices share a note head? And
won't rests that exist in one voice only, be dropped?
Traditionally in SATB (and TTBB) notated on two staffs, common rests
are shared, while stems go S:up/A:down/T:up/B:down even when
occationally singing in unison for a short while.
So I guess we could use a specific rest-combiner, to:
- merge common rests (or typeset them at staff level)
- keep voice-specific rests at voice-level and shifted up/down, as
before.
This would be especially useful when typesetting SATB or TTBB music in
alternative 2-staff and 4-staff versions; this is not possible while
merging rests with the current workaround of r-s in one voice and s-es
in the other.
That said, I personally don't think doubled, voice-level rests look
all that bad, so I sometimes just keep them that way[1]. It's just
not traditional.
(Oh, and isn't R2.\fermata supposed to work in 2.2.1?)
