Hi there!
Well a rest has no note so it doesn't matter where on the stave it is - it has no relevance. However, that is the standard way of representing the rests so it would probably be incorrect to move them up or down - I'm not even sure why you would want to do that? -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Na, just curiosity , thanks Andrew Rules are meant to be broken andrew!!! lol just kiddin, awesoem lesson! There are a few cases where the rests are moved up and down. Mostly when you're dealing with two different voices in the same staff. Then usually if there's a rest in the lower voice, you'll move the rest down -- both to indicate what voice it belongs to (making the notation more readable) and giving room for any notes in the upper voice. Same thing goes for a rest in the upper voice. Example from Bach's Goldberg variations: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...dberg-var10.png |
