\chapter{Rests}
\section{Ordinary rests}
A separate macro is defined for each kind of ordinary rest. They cause
a space after the symbol, just like spacing note commands, but they have
no parameters. A whole rest is coded as
\keyindex{pause},
half rest \keyindex{hpause} or \keyindex{hp},
quarter rest \keyindex{qp} or \keyindex{soupir},
eighth rest \keyindex{ds}, sixteenth rest \keyindex{qs},
$32$nd~rest \keyindex{hs}, and $64$th rest \keyindex{qqs}.
Dotted rests may be obtained by
using
\keyindex{pausep},
\keyindex{hpausep} or \keyindex{hpp}, \keyindex{qpp}, \keyindex{dsp}, \keyindex{qsp},
\keyindex{hsp} and \keyindex{qqsp},
and double-dotted rests by
\keyindex{pausepp},
\keyindex{hpausepp} or \keyindex{hppp}, \keyindex{qppp}, \keyindex{dspp}, \keyindex{qspp},
\keyindex{hspp} and \keyindex{qqspp},.
Longer rests, normally interpreted as lasting
two or four bars respectively, can be coded as \keyindex{PAuse}
and \keyindex{PAUSe}, which yield:
\begin{music}\nostartrule
\generalmeter{\meterfrac44}
\startextract
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar\PAuse\en}%
\NOTEs\en\bar
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar\PAUSe\en}%
\NOTEs\en
\endextract
\end{music}
%\check
\noindent
The command \keyindex{Hpause} $p$ $n$ provides an arbitrary length pause at pitch
$p$ and of length $n$ \keyindex{noteskip}. For example,
\verb|\NOTes\Hpause4{0.83}\en|
produces
\begin{music}
\nostartrule
\startextract
\NOTes\Hpause4{0.83}\en
\endextract
\end{music}
\section{Raising rests and non-spacing rests}\index{raising rests}
All the
previous rests (except \keyindex{pausep},
\keyindex{hpausep} and \keyindex{Hpause}) are \ital{hboxes}, which means that
they can be vertically offset if needed using the
standard \TeX\ command \keyindex{raise}. For example:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\raise 2\Interligne\qp
\raise 3mm\qqs
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\noindent where \keyindex{Interligne} is the distance from one staff line to the
next.
Similarly, non-spacing rests may be coded using the \TeX\ command \keyindex{rlap}, as in
\begin{music}\nostartrule
\startextract
\notes\ibbu0h{-1}\zccl e\qb0h\raise-4\Interligne\rlap\qs\qb0e\en
\notes\raise-4\Interligne\rlap\ds\qb0f\tqu0g\en
\endextract
\end{music}\noindent
for which the coding is
\begin{verbatim}
\notes\ibbu0h{-1}\zccl e\qb0h\raise-4\Interligne\rlap\qs\qb0e\en
\notes\raise-4\Interligne\rlap\ds\qb0f\tqu0g\en
\end{verbatim}
In addition, four special macros are available to raise or lower a whole or
half rest. The ordinary \verb|\pause| or
\verb|\hpause| cannot be used outside the staff because a short horizontal line
must be added to distinguish between the whole and the half rest. The commands,
which are non-spacing\footnote{Editor's note: The reason for having defined these
as non-spacing is not obvious}, are
\begin{itemize}\setlength{\itemsep}{0ex}
\item \keyindex{liftpause}~$n$ to get a
\hbox to10pt{\liftpause{-2}\hss}
raised from original position by $n$ staff line intervals,
\item \keyindex{lifthpause}~$n$ to get
\hbox to10pt{\lifthpause{-1}\hss} raised the same way.
\item \keyindex{liftpausep}~$n$ to get a
\hbox to10pt{\liftpausep{-2}\hss}
raised from original position by $n$ staff line intervals,
\item \keyindex{lifthpausep}~$n$ to get
\hbox to10pt{\lifthpausep{-1}\hss} raised the same way.
\end{itemize}

\section{Bar-centered rests}\label{barcentered}
Sometimes it is necessary to place a rest (or some other symbols) exactly in the middle
of the notes region of a bar
(i.e., excluding any initial clef and key or time signatures).
This can usually be done with combinations of the commands
\keyindex{atnextbar},
\keyindex{centerbar},
\keyindex{cPAUSe},
\keyindex{cPAuse},
\keyindex{cpause},
\keyindex{chpause},
\keyindex{cHpause} $n$,
as demonstrated in the following example:
\begin{music}
\generalmeter\meterC
\generalsignature{3}
\setclef1\bass
\setstaffs1{2}
\parindent0pt
\startextract
\NOtes|\qa{cegj}\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\cpause}|\en}%
\generalsignature{-3}\changecontext
\NOTes\ha{Nc}|\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes|\centerbar{\cpause}\en}%
\setclef1\alto\changeclefs%
\generalmeter{\meterfrac21}\changecontext%
\NOTEs\wh d\pause|\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes|\centerbar{\cPAuse}\en}%
\bar
\NOTEs|\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\cHpause{12}}|\centerbar{\cHpause{12}}\en}%
\endextract
\end{music}
\noindent with the coding
\begin{verbatim}
\generalmeter\meterC
\generalsignature{3}
\setclef1\bass
\setstaffs1{2}
\parindent0pt
\startextract
\NOtes|\qa{cegj}\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\cpause}|\en}%
\generalsignature{-3}\changecontext
\NOTes\ha{Nc}|\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes|\centerbar{\cpause}\en}%
\setclef1\alto\changeclefs%
\generalmeter{\meterfrac21}\changecontext%
\NOTEs\wh d\pause|\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes|\centerbar{\cPAuse}\en}%
\bar
\NOTEs|\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\cHpause{12}}|\centerbar{\cHpause{12}}\en}%
\endextract
\end{verbatim}\noindent
The following abbreviations are provided:
\begin{quote}
\begin{tabular}{lcl}
\keyindex{centerpause}& for & \verb|\centerbar{\cpause}|\\
\keyindex{centerhpause}& for & \verb|\centerbar{\chpause}|\\
\keyindex{centerPAuse}& for & \verb|\centerbar{\cPAuse}|\\
\keyindex{centerPAUSe}& for & \verb|\centerbar{\cPAUSe}|\\
\keyindex{centerHpause} $n$ & for & \verb|\centerbar{\cHpause| $n$\verb|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}
Material other than these rests may be used as arguments to
\verb|\centerbar|, as in:\\
\begin{music}
\nostartrule
\generalmeter\meterC
\parindent0pt
\startextract
\NOTEs\sk\hqsk\en\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\ccn{9}{\meterfont7}}%
\centerbar{\cPAUSe\off{2\elemskip}\cPAuse\off{2\elemskip}\cpause}\en}\bar
\NOtes\ql{ghij}\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\liftpause2}\en}\bar
\NOTes\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\duevolte}\en}\bar
\NOTes\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\loffset{0.7}{\centerbar{\Fermataup l\wh j}}\en}
\endextract
\end{music}
\noindent for which the coding is:
\begin{verbatim}
\generalmeter\meterC
\parindent0pt
\startextract
\NOTEs\en\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\ccn{9}{\meterfont7}}%
\centerbar{\cPAUSe\off{2\elemskip}\cPAuse\off{2\elemskip}\cpause}\en}\bar
\NOtes\ql{ghij}\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\liftpause2}\en}\bar
\NOTes\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\duevolte}\en}\bar
\NOTes\en
\def\atnextbar{\znotes\loffset{0.7}{\centerbar{\Fermataup l\wh j}}\en}
\endextract
\end{verbatim}
In the last measure,
it has been necessary to use \keyindex{loffset} to correct the centering of
the off-center command
\verb|\wh|\ldots.
%To get proper positioning of \keyindex{centerbar} material before
%a clef change, you may use an invisible bar line as in
%\begin{quote}
%\begin{verbatim}
%\setclef1\bass
%\startextract%
%\NOTEs\Hpause4{0.83}\en
%\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\ccn9{\meterfont{4}}}\en}%
%\qspace\setemptybar\bar% invisible bar line
%\setclef1\alto\zchangeclefs\bar%
%\NOtes\qa{abcd}\en
%\endextract
%\end{verbatim}
%\end{quote}
%which produces
%
%\begin{music}
%\nostartrule
%\nobarnumbers
%\setclef1\bass
%\startextract%
%\NOTEs\Hpause4{0.83}\en
%\def\atnextbar{\znotes\centerbar{\ccn9{\meterfont{4}}}\en}%
%%\qspace\setemptybar\bar% invisible bar line
%\setclef1\alto\changeclefs\bar%
%\NOtes\qa{abcd}\en
%\endextract
%\end{music}
