  David,


  The latest set of unstable versions has the rest you speak of, called 
rests.2z. Is that the one you're looking for?

    Please, a z-s rest? It's newer than the Gutenberg quarter rests you have in 
    all of the fonts, and it has its advocates. It's especially good for 
complex 
    guitar music, because it takes less vertical space. 

    I call your present quarter a Gutenberg rest because it is a blackletter 
    "R", and used in printing as well as writing because the fonts and the 
    blackletter writing style developed together in Gutenberg's day. Of course 
    the "R" was joined to a straight-sided letter on its left when writing, but 
    the same form was printed next to a straight sided letter without 
connection. 

    The z-s rest looks like a backwards "z". It was an improvement on the 
    "classical" rest, because it did not cause frequent mistakes. 

    Regards, Rale
