How to select all undesired rests faster?

I’m writing for drums and I was wondering if there is a way I can select all undesired rests from a system at once. I upload a screen shot for you to see the music. Basically I want to select all the up rests without having to command-click them all.
Thank you very much in advance!

EDIT: It turns out I overlooked the oh so little word “up”, and since I do not want to disseminate wrong info, you’d have to use James´ method, of course…

I’d use the system track (grey band above the topmost system), select everything with the mouse, checking the selection box and hit “remove rests”. :slightly_smiling_face:

If you want to delete only certain rests, I do this:

  • Select all measures with undesired rests
  • Use the jump bar to filter for up-stem notes
  • Filter for rests
  • Alt-Del(ete) to remove the rests

(Repeat as needed if you have multiple up-stem voices)
