Handling Rests

With Polyphonic Voices, you often get more rest symbols than you desire.

 

• If a Voice doesn’t need any rests at all, you can turn off rests for each voice individually in the Polyphonic Voices dialog.

• If you only need rests from one voice on a staff, turn Rests–Center on for that voice (this is done in the same dialog). If two or more voices have rests, turn Rests–Center off. The program then automatically makes sure the rests don’t “collide” in the score, by adjusting their vertical position.

• To avoid having several rests displayed in empty bars, you can activate the Rests–Reduce option for all voices (that have rests) except one. This option causes the program to hide Rests in empty bars.

• You can use Hide (see page 266) to totally remove individual superfluous rests from the Score.
• You can use the Arrow Tool to manually move rests up/down or sideways to adjust the “picture”.
• If needed you can add “rest symbols” (rests that don’t affect the playback data in any way) by using the Symbol Palette.
