Well, the Rebel is as late as 1712, and does have multi-measure rests
(it's printed as separate parts)

I'm not sure what period the originator of this query was interested in
- very likely earlier, this print using moveable type was old-fashioned
at the time. But I thought it might illustrate LilyPond's flexibility to
generate both a modern and a (somewhat) early version from the same
Denemo input. I think it is quite impressive, but there are some style
clashes in there.
