Re: [Finale] secondary beams over rests

[Robert Patterson]

This is an annoying workaround that I use. Once you get the hang of it
you can set it up pretty fast, but it doesn't space correctly nor does
it alway copy/past correctly.

Turn beaming over rests ON. For the 16th note-rest-8th note pattern,
in speedy hide the rest using the O key, then enter a rest in V2 at
that same spot. With a little practice, you can manage to get the hang
of entering the V2 rest at the right level and leaving the stems
pointing in the right directions.
