I don't really know the answer to your question, whether the LP default 
positioning for whole measure rests in polyphonic music follows standard 
typesetting practice, although I know it was always the intention to do so. 
So I'm copying this to the -user list to prompt comment from those more 
knowledgeable than I about such things.
