Thank you, Robert.

I tried it - works perfectly.
It also works in Simple entry, using a second layer -
but there is a bit more mucking about to do.
Very grateful.
Ian

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.

1) In beaming 16th notes over rests [e.g., (sixteenths) - note - rest - rest - note], with 'beaming over rests' turned ON in the doc.opts. produces what I like. However, with the same set-up, [sixteenth note, sixteenth rest, eighth note] produces a 'short' secondary beam which goes over the rest. This I do not like.

2) With 'beaming over rests' turned OFF, the [note - rest - rest - note] gives ugly short secondary beams pointing inwards, but the [1/16th note - 1/16th rest - eighth note] is perfect.

Is there some way in which I may obtain the best of both - the full secondary beam over rests in the first instance, and a really short secondary beam not over the rest in the second?
