AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK

You can delete rests that you have identied as explicit rests. The implicit rests that replace them

now respect the Starts voice and Ends voice properties.

Deleting rests

You can delete both implicit rests and explicit rests, for example, if you want to hide rests before/

after notes in another voice used to show passing notes.

NOTE

You cannot delete rests from unpitched percussion instruments.

PROCEDURE

In Write mode, select the rests you want to delete.

TIP

You can select rests individually, or make a larger selection that contains the rests you want

to delete.

2. Choose Edit > Remove Rests.

RESULT

All rests in the selection are deleted. This is done by automatically activating Starts voice and

Ends voice in the Notes and Rests group of the Properties panel so that no rests are shown in

the selected regions.

TIP

You can show rests again later by selecting the notes or rests immediately to the right/left of

deleted rests and deactivating the corresponding

Starts voice or Ends voice properties in the

Notes and Rests group of the Properties panel.

EXAMPLE

A phrase with multiple voices showing implicit rests. The same phrase after deleting the rests.
