I suggested long ago that since rests are basically cues for the following note in the voice, that they should take their default pitch from that note. When a rest is simultaneous with a stem in another voice, and there is necessary collision because there are 3 or more parts on the staff and the rest is an inside part, the rest is placed *before* the stem, even if the stem is down. That rule is not in any published book that I know of, but I have many examples from as early as 1810, and I have seen it on the web. -- It's not that hard to understand the lesson of Viet Nam. Never never never never defend one tyrant against another, because The worst thing that can happen is you might win. The *Gulf* war was worse than Nam. D.
