Implementation notes

The position y = 0 corresponds to a staff line for each rest glyph, but it is not necessarily the same staff line for every glyph in this range: for example, restWhole hangs from the nominal staff line at y = 0, while restHalf sits on the nominal staff line at y = 0.

Scoring applications should draw multiple measure rests using primitives to provide variable width and line thickness rather than using restHBar.

“Old style” multiple measure rests can be created by laying out restLonga (four bars), restDoubleWhole (two bars) and restWhole (one bar) next to each other.

For dotted rests, the augmentation dot glyph augmentationDot should be used.
