In music, the symbols used to record the breaks of different long and short sounds are called rests. There are several commonly used rests:

standard writing of staff rests

rests are in the single-character dry notation, and are always recorded on or near the third line. The binary rest is written above the third line, and the total rest is written below the fourth line. In the double-operator notation, when each voice * * * has the same pause, the notation of the rest is the same as that of the single-operator notation. When individual voices stop, the rest is written on the edge of the staff, or outside the staff. At this time, the full rest and the binary rest should be underlined. The full rest is written below the added line and the binary rest is written above the added line.

in the staff, there are certain rules for writing the rest. The specific requirements are as follows:

(1) The rest of the second room will be filled in a small square. The whole rest is written in a small square under the fourth line, accounting for half of the space in the third room. The binary rest is written in a small square on the third line, occupying half of the space in the third room. Four-point rest, eight-point rest, etc., are recorded in the middle of the staff.

(2) In one-part music, the position of the rest is fixed regardless of the spectrum table. However, in the sound group connected by the suffix, the position of the rest sometimes changes.

(3) when recording two voices with a line of staff, if the two voices stop at the same time, you can * * * use a rest. When an individual voice stops, the rest is recorded in this voice.

(4) The rest of the whole bar can be represented by a full rest, at which time the duration of the full rest is equal to the number of beats marked after the clef.

(5) A pause of more than two bars can be marked with a long pause "8", and the number on the symbol indicates the number of bars of the pause. Extended content:

A rest is a mark used on the score of music to mark the temporary pause or stillness of music and the length of pause. The use of rest can create different emotional expressions in musical phrases. The naming of rest is mainly based on the length of pause, which can be divided into multiple full rest, full rest, binary rest, four-point rest, eight-point rest, sixteen-point rest, thirty-two-point rest and sixty-four-point rest. The rest can also be added with an additional dot to adjust the length of the music pause, and it is named as the original rest name, and the word "additional dot" is added in front of it, for example, the additional dot binary rest.

when it is impossible to comply with the above rules due to the narrow spectrum and other reasons, it is entirely possible to shorten or lengthen the stem length appropriately. The dotted line is written in the space to the right of the note Fu Tou and the rest, not on the line.
