The full measure rest object

Type: Dictionary

Attributes

Name Type Required? Description
staffPosition staff position No If provided, this specifies the vertical position of the rest on the staff. If not provided, the rest should be positioned automatically according to convention.

This vertical position is the "origin point" from which the rest symbol's SMuFL glyph is drawn. For example, a quarter rest is drawn from its vertical midpoint. See the SMuFL rests documentation for more.
visualDuration note value No Encodes the duration of the visual glyph used for this full-measure rest. For example, if a rest is visually represented by a whole note, this would get "visualDuration": {"base": "whole"}.

Note this doesn't necessarily match the time signature.

This is optional. If not provided, consuming applications are free to use their own algorithms to determine which glyph to use for this full-measure rest.

Plus globally available attributes: _c, _x, id
