I cannot seem to use Force Duration to create specific rests in a drumset in the same way as I can in any other instrument. Is that by design, or some particular oddity about drumset (I realize that there are some ways in which percussion is a different beast and I don’t always understand the nuances of why/how it behaves differently), or is it a bug?
Specifically, I have a kick pattern that plays only on the 3rd of a triplet 16th and I want to have an 8th rest, but it will only put 2 16th rests. I can do it with notes, but not rests. In any other instrument, I can force an 8th rest in that context, which looks cleaner. But in percussion….nope.
Am I missing something?
(Screenshot shows the triplet in the drumset with 2 16th rests that I tried to force to be an 8th, but it wouldn’t go. You can see in the next beat that putting a note there does allow for the forced rhythm. Below that is the upper staff of a piano instrument that contains two 16th note triplets, also showing how force duration works both with notes and rests, just to demonstrate that I do know how to do it! LOL)
Thanks!
