How do you rest a group in 3 4?

Thus, in a bar of 3/4, a crotchet is not followed by a minim rest, but by two crotchet rests, as shown in Example 34 (a). And a crotchet and quaver are followed, not by a dotted crotchet rest, but by a quaver and a crotchet rest, as shown in Example 34 (b). Each beat is shown clearly.

How do you write rests in a compound time?

As you learned in Section 3.8, when dealing with such compound time signatures as 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8, the beat is a dotted crotchet, so each beat's rest can be written either as a dotted crotchet rest or as a crotchet rest followed by a quaver rest, as in Example 37.

How do you write rests correctly?

Write rests that equal ONE BEAT and place them ON the beat (not between the beats). Always combine rests that equal TWO, THREE or FOUR beats into longer rests, but ONLY if they fall on the strong beat of the bar.
