Notation of Rests

For clarity, the representation of rests follows the following conventions.

whole note rest: on a five-line staff, the whole note rest should be just beneath the fourth line (figure 3a); when writing on a one-line staff (as used for some percussion instruments), it should appear below that line.

half note rest: on a five-line staff, the whole note rest should be just above the third line (figure 3a); when writing on a one-line staff, it should appear above that line.

the quarter note rest centered on the staff, confining the representing shape between the first and the fourth spaces (figure 3c).

the eighth note rest between the second and fourth lines, with the “hook” of the symbol on the third space (figure 3d).

the 16th note rest between  the first and fourth lines, with the top “hook” on the third space, and the remaining “hook” in the space immediately below (figure 3e).

the 32th note rest between  the first and fifth lines, with the symbol's top “hook” on the fourth space, and each of the remaining “hooks” on each of the spaces immediately below (figure 3f).

the 64th note rest between one space bellow the first line and the fifth lines, with the top “hook” of the icon on the fourth space, and each of the remaining “hooks” on each of the spaces immediately below (figure 3g).
