Hi Seán,

What way are you thinking about the rest in relation to other notes?

It seems like the program that abjad tries to interface with - i.e. Lilypond, basically creates an internal representation

of everything (notes, rests, durations, dynamics, markup) as one big Scheme list. This makes the nodes in this list

very easy to interchange.

The approach in abjad is similar, but you would first define the rest and note objects and then combine them

into a container in a separate step.

```python

import abjad

erest = "r8"
r = abjad.Rest(erest)

maker = abjad.NoteMaker()
notes = maker(
        [0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 5, 4, 9, 2, 7],
        [(1, 8), (1, 8), (1, 8),
         (3, 16), (1, 32), (1, 32),
         (1, 8), (1, 8), (1, 8)]
        )

voice = abjad.Voice([r, notes])
staff = abjad.Staff([voice])

abjad.lilypond(staff)

```

This will output a chunk of lilypond code that you can drop in to any valid lilypond score

```sh

"\\new Staff\n{\n    \\new Voice\n    {\n        r8\n        c'8\n        d'8\n        e'8\n        f'8.\n        g'32\n        f'32\n        e'8\n        a'8\n        d'8\n        g'8\n    }\n}"

```

all the best,

Adam

rest in Notemaker

"Seán ó Dálaigh" <sean....@gmail.com>: Jun 22 08:11PM +0100 Hello all,   Quite new to Abjad so hopefully not too banal a question...   Is it possible to specify a rest explicitly when using Notemaker?   Something like;   maker = abjad.NoteMaker() maker(['---rest?---'], [1/4])   Thanks in advance, Seán
