I couldn't really pick out an answer from this discussion, so we'll
just keep the current "church rests". Since it mentions longa and
breve in parentheses, I think it's fine.
The glossary makes it clear that this is a lilypond-specific term,
anyway.
If you object to this, please see the current GDP docs and make a
specific suggestion as to how we should change them.
I think you can drop the "Church rest" term, as nobody seems to know
it outside LilyPond. Perhaps make a section "deprecated" for
searching purposes with a reference.
Hindemith just calls it "rests longer than one measure", so multi-
measure or multimeasure rests seems fine.
