Use the style
property of grob Rest to select
ancient accidentals. Supported styles are classical
,
neo_mensural
and mensural
. classical
differs
from the default
style only in that the quarter rest looks like
a horizontally mirrored 8th rest. The neo_mensural
style suits
well for e.g. the incipit of a transcribed mensural piece of music.
The mensural
style finally mimicks the appearance of rests as
in historic prints of the 16th century.
The following example demonstrates the neo_mensural
style:
\property Voice.Rest \set #'style = #'neo_mensural r\longa 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 input/test/rests.ly
for a chart of all
rests.
There are no rests in Gregorian Chant notation; instead, it uses Divisiones.
