English: This is an image of the musical notation for a seven measure rest using the older style, before the H-bar, where the rests count out the measures. In a seven bar example (7=4+2+1), this results in a longa (4), a breve (2), and a semibreve (1).
This media depicts a rhythm outside of a specific musical context. Rhythms without melody or harmony (no "distinctiveness"), may be used in compositions by multiple composers ("common material"), and may not be readily apparent in compositions. As such, a rhythm is a musical concept or technique, which is considered too simple to be eligible for copyright protection, or which consists only of technique, with no original creative input.
