There is a short paper on rests on http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/ (look for MusiXTeX,
add-ons, rests and find ftp://ftp.gmd.de/music/musixtex/add-ons/rests.ps )

I'm sorry, it's MusiXTeX and provided by PMX and its SCOR2PRT, too; (multibar rests
are generated automagically when parts are extracted from a score :-)
