- See error: rests are not fully above staff
Expected behavior

Platform information
- OS: Linux
Additional context
In 3.6.2, the problem was worse, the rests would sometimes not be offset at all, and this at least is fixed (see https://musescore.org/en/node/318860). But still, the default position should be higher. Similar story for voice 4 - should be fully below.
