Pbind rests are written as Rest(duration) and can appear in any parameter stream

Silence in a Pbind sequence is inserted with Rest(n), where n is the duration in beats. A Rest object can appear anywhere in the Pbind — inside the \dur stream, inside a \degree stream, etc. When the \dur stream encounters a Rest, no event is triggered for that duration. This lets composers shape rhythmic patterns with explicit silences without terminating the Pbind.

Examples

Pbind( \degree, Pwhite(0,10), \dur, Pseq([0.1,0.1,0.3,Rest(0.3),0.25],inf) ).play;

Assessment

Modify a simple Pbind melody to include a half-beat rest after every third note using Rest().

“Pbind( 3\degree, Pwhite(0, 10), 4\dur, Pseq([0.1, 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, Rest(0.3), 0.25], inf);”
