Users,
I’m looking for a good name for a rest style that is like the default except
for using a quarter rest shaped like a mirrored Z. I’ve seen examples in
19th-C. Italian opera and 20th-C. American hymnals, so names based on time,
place, publisher, or genre do not fit very well. Although, I also see the
“classical” quarter rest in a late 19th-C. American hymnal, so maybe I
shouldn’t worry about universality so much. My best idea is “z” based on its
appearance, but it seems strange to name a whole style after just one rest.
