| 16 | Multiple measure rests can be indicated using the "multirest" statement. |
| 17 | It is followed by the number of measures of rest. |
| 18 | The number must be greater than 1, and no larger than 1000. |
| 19 | There must not be any note or lyric information specified for |
| 20 | a multirest measure. |
