Per-flow notation options for rests

There are a number of options for how rests are positioned and notated, and when rests are shown project-wide that you can choose from on the Rests page in Notation Options.

For example, you can change whether bar rests are shown in additional voices, when dotted rests are permitted, and the default positions of rests in different contexts.

You can open Notation Options in any of the following ways:

  • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-N in any mode.

  • Choose Write > Notation Options in Write mode.

  • Choose Setup > Notation Options in Setup mode.

  • Click Notation Options on the right of the Flows panel in Setup mode.

You can then select Rests from the Category menu.
