Percussion part problems

Under the Boardwalk.dorico (1.1 MB)
I am having problems with the rests and articulations in the castanets staff appearing in the guiro staff.

Help!

Bar 57

It’s weird, the rests are in another voice (3), but I can’t seem to change them.

I created a new percussion kit and copied everything from the old one. You might have to change the name. Maybe something for @dspreadbury to have a look at.

When you have a percussion kit shown as a grid, you can choose which voice should be used for each instrument in the Edit Percussion Kit dialog. In this case, all three of the instruments are in the same voice, so you get a single set of rests on the middle “staff line” of the grid.

But it doesn’t seem possible to change afterward. I tried setting different voices in the perc setup, but that only created 2 new voices (4 and 5)
Was it possible to correct the original file without creating a new perc kit?

I have tried assigning 3 different voices to each instruments. I have tried using different combinations of stem direction. @dspreadbury do you have a solution?

If you want each instrument to show its own bar rest, then your best bet would probably be to use the Individual instruments presentation type (specified on the Players page of Layout Options) rather than the Grid presentation type.
