[CM] rhythmic symbols for rests

[taube@uiuc.edu]

you can use a minus sign to mark a rhythm as a rest. an initial - will cause the
rhythm function to return a negative time value. your code will then look for
negative values and act accordingly.

CM> (rhythm '-q.)
-1.5

note that the minus sign operates on the whole symbol even if + and - appear
inside it:

CM> CM> (rhythm '-w+s)
-4.25



you can pass a negative time values to WAIT and it will use the absolute value
but otherwise CM doesnt treat negative value differnetly than positive ones.
