LilyPond Internals Reference: 3.2.116 rest-interface

### 3.2.116 `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.

`voiced-position` (number)

  The staff-position of a voiced `Rest`, negative if the rest has `direction` `DOWN`.

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