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.
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.
- Choose .
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.
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.
