Re: Rests in TabVoice

[Noeck]

Hi,

as contribution to this discussion: the staves number 3 and 4 in the
attachment is what would please my eyes the most (for n staff lines):

multi measure and whole rests:
 hanging from the staff line above the centre: staff line floor(n/2)
 counting from top to bottom

half rests:
 sitting on the centre line or below (for even n): floor(n/2)+1

quarter rests:
 centred for any n?

for smaller durations I am not sure:
 a) centred for any n?
 b) oriented on the half-rest-line: floor(n/2)+1
 c) oriented on the whole-rest- line: floor(n/2)+1
In any case they are not designed for the staff spaces in TabStaffs,
they look much nicer for the default staff spaces in Staffs.

Cheers,
Joram

PS: The C-time-signature also moved from the line (2.16.0) to the centre
(2.17.14). It's hard to tell, but I like the new position more.
