Won't that give a single stem when the voices share a note head? And won't rests that exist in one voice only, be dropped? Traditionally in SATB (and TTBB) notated on two staffs, common rests are shared, while stems go S:up/A:down/T:up/B:down even when occationally singing in unison for a short while. So I guess we could use a specific rest-combiner, to: - merge common rests (or typeset them at staff level) - keep voice-specific rests at voice-level and shifted up/down, as before. This would be especially useful when typesetting SATB or TTBB music in alternative 2-staff and 4-staff versions; this is not possible while merging rests with the current workaround of r-s in one voice and s-es in the other. That said, I personally don't think doubled, voice-level rests look all that bad, so I sometimes just keep them that way[1]. It's just not traditional. (Oh, and isn't R2.\fermata supposed to work in 2.2.1?)
