Cues
Cues are passages of music shown in instrumental parts that are played by a different player, usually to help orientate players before entries or solos following a significant passage of rests.
Rests in cues
If cues start/end partway through bars, they are padded with cue-sized rests up to bar boundaries or up to the next played entry, whichever comes first. This ensures it is clear to the player how the rhythm of the cue fits within the current time signature and how it relates to their existing material.
Hiding/Showing padding rests in cues
You can hide/show padding rests before/after individual cues. Padding rests fill up bars when cues start/end partway through bars, so that the full duration of each bar is clear.
