I am working on an exercise where I am given a few empty bars along with a time signature; and I am to fill it in with rests following the standard rules.
In 5/2 time, I am given 4 measures, each with a single note. they are, in order,
half note, whole note, dottedwhole note, and quarter note.
Since I do not know any way to group the beats, I was left with no choice but to write the first measure as:
half note, half rest, half rest, half rest, half rest,
the second measure as:
whole note, half rest, half rest, half rest,
the third measure as:
dotted whole note, half rest, half rest,
and the fourth measure as:
quarter note, quarter rest, half rest, half rest, half rest, half rest.
But this looks odd to me; and I have never seen anything like it. Is this the correct way to fill the measures in with rests?
