I hear you about your rest issue. It is a real problem, especially in piano music, where the offset between two layers needs to be different from one passage to another, heck, even from one bar to another!
My way of dealing with that was to use the usual layer offsets (+6 for stems up, -6 for stems down) as a baseline default and adjust individual rests on an as-needed basis. The Move Rests plugin is useful for large swathes of similar adjustments, but it doesn’t differentiate between different rest values, which is what I think you need. Have you looked into JW Change? That might have something that will help. I found nothing in TG Tools Pro. I was going to suggest that maybe rest alterations could be copied from one measure to another the way stem and notehead alterations can, but I see no way to do that.
