I'm now writing a small score, which contains percussion (cymbals) and I was
searching for RhythmicStaff stuff and I found this message.

I don't know much about percussion notation but the half / whole rest
position you presented somehow made me curious. Should they really be
written the other way round as in "normal" 5 line notation? Any reason why?

Well, I'm happy even with the current style except for the floating whole
rest (multimeasure rest, R1). I've lowered it by #-0.02 and now the ledger
line coincides with the main line. The stubby line is showing through the
line, though. :-( I also tried to replace "R1" with "s1*1/2 r1*1/2" but they
did not always match with R1s on other staves. 

Is there a way to change the R1 glyph from "rests.0o" to e.g. "rests.0" for
that staff?

Is this a bug?
