Use the style
property of grob Rest to select
ancient rests. Supported styles are classical
,
neomensural
, and mensural
. classical
differs
from the default
style only in that the quarter rest looks
like a horizontally mirrored 8th rest. The mensural
and
the neomensural
styles mimic the appearance of rests in
manuscripts and prints up to the 16th century.
The following example demonstrates the mensural
and
neomensural
styles:
\set Score.skipBars = ##t \override Rest #'style = #'classical r\longa^"classical" r\breve r1 r2 r4 r8 r16 s \break \override Rest #'style = #'mensural r\longa^"mensural" r\breve r1 r2 r4 r8 r16 s \break \override Rest #'style = #'neomensural r\longa^"neomensural" r\breve r1 r2 r4 r8 r16
There are no 32th and 64th rests specifically for the mensural or neo-mensural style. Instead, the rests from the default style will be taken.
See Ancient notation for a chart of all rests.
Notation Reference: Rests, gives a general introduction into the use of rests.
