+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 @q{Kirchenpausen} in German, as a
+reminiscence of its use in Renaissance vocal polyphony.
