Probably the easiest option is the put in the rests as notes and then change the notehead symbols to rest symbols. If you care about playback, you can turn off the playback bit on the "rests" using the Frame Dialog box. If the rests are other than 64th rests, you may have to insert invisible tuplets as needed, so as to keep 4 beams at all times.
Depending on the rest pattern, it is sometimes possible lengthen the secondary beam stubs across the entire beam. I have longed for local beam options, either in the beam tool or as a staff style option, but MM seems too busy with other priorities to consider it. But with linked parts, these kinds of workarounds are often not compatible with both score and part views, so we may see pressure build to address the more common ones. > -----Original Message----- > From: ThomaStudios [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 02:46 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Finale] Beaming over rests > > I have a client who is writing a piece that contains quite a bit of > modern notation conventions.
