What does 0 mean in notation?

In notation, 0 stands for rest, which refers to symbols without sound or with sound.

In music, there are not only the height and length of sound, but also the pause of sound. The symbol indicating the sound pause is called a rest and marked with "0". In layman's terms, it is a symbol without sound.

Rests and notes are basically the same, and there are six kinds. However, in general, the added horizontal lines are directly replaced by 0. Every time a 0 is added, the duration of a four-point rest is increased.

Extended data

The rest is written-

Due to the narrow spectrum and other reasons, when the above laws cannot be observed, the stem length can be shortened or lengthened appropriately. The dotted line is written in the margin to the right of the note Fu Tou and the rest, not on this line. The rest are always recorded on or near the third line of single-symbol dry notation.

The binary remainder is written above the third line and the total remainder is written below the fourth line. In the two-symbol notation, when each voice has the same pause, the rest of the notation is the same as the single-symbol notation. When individual voices stop, the rest are written on the edge of the staff, or outside the staff.
