LilyPond Internals Reference: 3.2.85 rest-interface

### 3.2.85 rest-interface

A rest symbol. The property `style` can be `default`, `mensural`, `neomensural` or `classical`.

#### User settable properties:

> `direction` (direction)

>   If `side-axis` is `0` (or `#X`), then this property determines whether the object is placed `#LEFT`, `#CENTER` or `#RIGHT` with respect to the other object. Otherwise, it determines whether the object is placed `#UP`, `#CENTER` or `#DOWN`. Numerical values may also be used: `#UP`=`1`, `#DOWN`=`-1`, `#LEFT`=`-1`, `#RIGHT`=`1`, `#CENTER`=`0`.

> `minimum-distance` (dimension, in staff space)

>   Minimum distance between rest and notes or beam.

> `style` (symbol)

>   This setting determines in what style a grob is typeset. Valid choices depend on the `stencil` callback reading this property.

This grob interface is used in the following graphical object(s): MultiMeasureRest and Rest.
