Thanks for your continued input Pianoleo. I think that I understood you - but look at what happens to bar one in your example i.e. nothing. That’s what was happening for me - resolved by manual entry.
Forgive me if I’m missing something - only first few days in.
The first note in a voice begins that voice. No rests will appear before that first note, automatically.
Blimey - that took some hammering in - I must be sleep-deprived - thank you.
I was imagining that the program would work “retrospectively” in such a case … and it still seems a bit odd to me - what happens with anacruses?
If you need rests before the first note of a voice, you’ll need to use Force Duration. Set the caret to the correct voice, type O, type the number that corresponds to the note value, then type , (comma) for rest input, then Y. Much quicker to do than to describe!
