Is it correct to notate these two `R\breve*6` rests differently?
Should there be a third mark in the 12/1 measure?
```
\version "2.24.4"

\compressEmptyMeasures
\time 2/1
R\breve*6
\time 12/1
R\breve*6
}

Yes, I think there should be a third mark – the vertical bar covering
two staff spaces always has a length of 4/1, AFAIK. Admittedly, I
have never seen a 12/1 time signature in the wild, so maybe I'm wrong.
"Brobdingnagische Gigue" [1] is in 24/1, but it has grouped whole rests
rather than the longer rests.
"Ecce gratum" from _Carmina Burana_, has isolated single measures of
4/(1/2) time. The sounding part has no rests. Other parts have a
centered whole rest with a fermata. That might be the clearest
rendering for the silent single measures in my test case too.
Since we both feel that there's something wrong with the rests here,
I'll create a ticket about it later today.
