Rests
Rests are markings with a rhythmic value that indicate no note is played for that duration. Each note duration has an equivalent rest; for example, a quarter note rest is different to a sixteenth note rest.
Implicit vs. explicit rests
Implicit rests are automatically shown between the notes you input, and their duration automatically follows the time signature and their position in the bar. Explicit rests are rests that are explicitly entered during note input by forcing their duration, or rests that were imported from a MusicXML file.
Turning explicit rests into implicit rests
Implicit rests and explicit rests behave differently. For example, the notation of explicit rests does not update automatically if their position in the bar of the time signature changes.

Turning explicit rests into implicit rests

Implicit rests and explicit rests behave differently. For example, the notation of explicit rests does not update automatically if their position in the bar of the time signature changes.

Procedure

In Write mode, select the explicit rests you want to turn into implicit rests.
Press Backspace or Delete.

Result

The selected explicit rests are now implicit rests. You can check this by showing rest colors.
