Showing rest colors
You can show implicit rests and explicit rests in different colors.
Procedure
-
A tick is shown beside Implicit Rests in the menu when rest colors are shown.
-
No tick is shown beside Implicit Rests in the menu when rest colors are not shown.
Result
Rests in your project appear gray if they are implicit, and black if they are explicit. For example, this can be useful to help diagnose why rests do not disappear when you activate Starts voice and Ends voice, as these properties only hide implicit rests.
Once you have identified rests as explicit rests, you can delete them. The implicit rests that replace them now respect the Starts voice and Ends voice properties.
