Request to include both attributes musicxml format which are useful when the need to rendering precise positions accurately e.g. using Javascript.

Before:
< note >
< rest / >
< duration > 1 < / duration >
< voice > 1 < / voice >
< type > quarter < / type >
< / note >

to

< note default-x = " 70.00 " default-y = " 30.00 " >
< rest / >
< duration > 1 < / duration >
< voice > 1 < / voice >
< type > quarter < / type >
< / note >

Is the code related this function?
void ExportMusicXml::rest(Rest* rest, int staff)

Yes it's the right function. As I said on the forum, note that the vertical position of rest is already given by display-step and display-octave. I'm not sure how that should interact with default-x and default-y.

FYI: checked the MusicXML documentation, but could not find anything explicit on a possible interaction between default-y and display-step. My guess is that adding default-y to a rest that already has a display-step will not hurt (providing the default- information is consistent with the display-step).
