Combine rests in multiple voices (when appropriate)

• Sep 30, 2024 - 01:59

One of the more recent additions to Finale was the ability (by default) to combine rests in multiple voices into a single rest on the middle line, when the rests are the same in both voices. Is this possible in MuseScore without a lot of fussy editing?

There's a feature in the Staff/Part properties (accessed by right-clicking on the staff) called "Merge matching rests". But this will apply to the whole staff. Does this meet your expectations?

Indeed it does. Thank you.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to restore an element to its default position? In Finale it was the clear key.

"a keyboard shortcut to restore an element to its default position"
Ctrl/Cmd + R (reset)
