In the attached example, the full-bar rests are way too narrow, compared to
measures with multiple note, and even to measures with one full-measure  
note.

This is not just ugly, musicians have real problems playing from these  
notes,
as I experienced with some friends (professional string musicians!). The  
rest
simply does not look long enough!

Cheers,
Reinhold
