Comment #15 on issue 3902 by address@hidden: the position of the initial  
\voiceOne rest is suboptimal
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3902

Frankly, I find _many_ of the regtests worse.  The simple construct
<< r16 \\ r8 >>
looks awful (cf make-relative.ly for an example).  << r\longa. \\ r\longa.  
> > is absolutely terrible: rest-dot-position.ly is probable the regtest  
giving the "executive's summary".  Stuff like midi-notes.ly gets  
incomprehensible: here obviously the look could be improved by smarter  
voice tracking, but as long as we don't have that, wider defaults like the  
existing one are less likely to cause inversion confusion.

quote-cyclic.ly looks actually like something's wrong anyway: the main  
voice more likely than not should have \oneVoice rest positioning.  Not  
relevant to this issue until it is fixed.

quote-cue-during.ly is too tight.

dot-column-vertical-positioning.ly looks like it demonstrates an  
independent error.

The only actually convincing improvement to me is  
lyric-combine-switch-voice.ly and again, it is incidental: we'd need voice  
tracking to get such improvements consistently.

In the current form and situation, I find that the patch makes more things  
go worse than it causes things to go better.  Most improvements are  
marginal, while several setbacks are rather strong.
