Four measure rest
The four measure rest or long rest is a rest found in Western musical notation denoting a silence four times the duration of a whole rest. It is only used in long silent passages which are not divided into bars. It is a type of measure rest and is sometimes replaced by a multiple measure rest.
Four measure rests are drawn as filled-in rectangles occupying the whole space between the second and fourth lines from the top of the musical staff.
