Rests vertical position

Revision as of 18:50, 16 November 2025 by Jean Abou Samra (talk | contribs) (Replace version="2.24.0" with version="2.24" now that the LilyWiki extension supports auto-selecting the latest release in a stable series)

A rest's vertical position may be explicitly specified by entering a note with the \rest keyword appended, the rest will be placed at the note's place. This makes manual formatting in polyphonic music easier. Automatic rest collision formatting will leave these rests alone.

\version "2.24"
