As to my eye, with this registration, on a one-line staff quaver rest
should go 0.5 space higher, and
semiquaver, hemidemisemiquaver (and so on) rests should go 1 space higher.
So there may be a (little, but still) difference between the middle of
the 5-lines staff and single-line staff (which I have overseen when
proposed registration).
