Percussion 5 line staff - two instruments Snare Drum on third space and Bass Drum on first space. When the instruments play on their own the Snare Drum does not show whole rests for the Bass Drum. However, When the Bass Drum plays alone whole rests are shown in the Snare Drum. I am trying to show those whole rests. I cannot figure this out. Again, I’m probably missing something simple. Thanks for any input.
Hi.
I suppose those two instruments have their own voice (upstem voice for snare and downstem for kick?), full rests are shown for one voice and not the other… There might be a setting in Notation options>Percussion >Rest to pad with rests in both voices and not just one voice. It could be useful to check out the snare notes’ properties (bottom panel) to make sure you don’t have “ends voice” or “starts voice” anywhere.

AHA! That was it. Notation Options > Percussion > Pad with Rests was not selected. Thank you.
