Moving holds and pauses rhythmically
You can move holds and pauses to new rhythmic positions after they have been input.
Procedure
Result
The selected holds and pauses are moved to new rhythmic positions on each staff where they appear, even if their position does not appear to move. For example, if one staff has a bar rest, the rhythmic position of the hold or pause moves, but the hold or pause still appears above the rest.
Note
Only one type of hold or pause can exist at each rhythmic position. If a hold or pause passes over another hold or pause as part of its move, the existing hold or pause is deleted.
You can undo this action, but any holds and pauses deleted in the process are only restored if you moved the hold or pause using the keyboard.
