If you haven't found it yourself already, some info is also contained in the Event help file (scroll down).

Also: have you gone through James' Pattern Guide ?
Definitely recommended if you work with Patterns.
See e.g. Pattern Guide 08: Event Types and Parameters

In principal you can use *any* key in Event / Pbind. Think of it as a variable that you don't have to define explicitely and which is used for the little program that Pbind represents and that is evaluated every time an Event is played. Those keys though shouldn't conflict with standard keywords.

Pbind(
	\myHarmonies, Prand([Pn([0, 4, 7, 9], 8), Pn([0, 2, 5, 8], 8)], inf),
	\midinote, Prand([60, 72, 84], inf) + Pfunc { |ev| ev[\myHarmonies].choose },
	\dur, 0.15
).trace.play

You could write a Function that defines the msg sending and call that with a Pfunc. You could then define an Event type that does that.

Event type \rest.
Or use the Rest class, it has been refurbished in 3.9. (beta1 available yet)

It is definitely a very versatile one, but also consider Pmono.
