"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.
