+In some notational conventions beams are allowed to extend over rests.
+Depending on preference, these beams may drop 'stemlets' to help the
+eye appreciate the rhythm better, and in some modern music the rest
+itself is omitted and only the stemlet remains.
+
+
+This snippet shows a progression from traditional notation, to beams
+over the rest, to stemlets over the rest, to stemlets alone. Stemlets
+are generated by overriding the @code{'stemlet-length} property of
+@code{Stem}, while rests are hidden by setting @code{'transparent =
+##t}.
+
+
+Some @code{\\markup} elements are included in the source to highlight
+the different notations.
