Modify Rests menu

Modify/ Rests Menu

The Modify/Rest menu lists commands creating and removing rests.


	To insert a rests equivalent in duration to the current note value
	To remove all rests from the selected area of the score
	To insert rests wherever there are unfilled beats in the current selection (using the Select Score tool)
	To group measures in the current selection (using the Select Score tool) into Multiple Measure Rests
	To hide or show selected rests.

The Insert Rests menu item fills all empty beats in a selected section of the score with rest of the correct value. To use this command, select portion of the score with the Select Score tool, then select the Insert Rests menu item.

- The Insert Rests command will not work unless the Select Score tool has been used to select an area of the score.

The Measure Rests menu item groups selected measures into multiple measure rests. Any unnecessary barlines are removed and the multiple measure rest image is inserted. To use this command, select portion of the score with the Select Score tool, then select the Measure Rests menu item.

- According to convention, Multiple Measure Rests will not extend across meter changes or across systems

- The Measure Rests command will not work unless the Select Score tool has been used to select an area of the score.

The Remove Selected Rests menu item provides a short cut for removing only the rests in a selected area of the score, leaving all other images intact. Either the Selection or Select Score tools can be used to create the selection.
