Allow measure rests to be used within odd time signatures

[nithinkrishnamurthi]

Hi all,
I'm using vexflow for a midi parsing usecase. I've noticed that when working in odd time signatures, there is no easy way to denote a measure rest. I think convention is such that in a 3/4 bar, you would have a whole note rest block out the bar; however when i do this, I get an error that there are too many tickables. The only thing I can do about this is to add a series of quarter note rests, which look a little strange. Is there something I am missing? Or is this just not a supported usecase?
Thanks,
Nithin

It is customary to use the whole rest symbol for any time signature, even odd ones like 7/8 (as long as there are <= 4 beats). You want something like this (VoiceMode_SOFT):

  const voice = new VF.Voice({
    num_beats: params.actualBeats,
    beat_value: params.beatDuration
  }).setMode(VF.Voice.Mode.SOFT);
