I've mentioned before that extractMusic is in my standard bag of
tricks.  If it were me, I'd use that.  It's easier than writing
something new that does the same thing.

This does have the limitation that you have to set an arbitrary
size limit, the maximum duration of moments of rest that can be
created via this method.  In this example, that limit is set at
50,000 bars.
