    Multi-measure rests are conventionally typeset with a combination of
 longa, breve and whole rests for shorter and a long horizontal bar for
 longer spans of rest, with a number above to indicate the duration (in
 measures) of the rest.  The former style is called ‘Kirchenpausen’ in
 German, as a reminiscence of its use in Renaissance vocal polyphony.
