Hello again,
An update to my earlier question. I'm engraving a piece now that
uses 5/4 and 6/4 time signatures. I have a full measure rest for one
of each time signatures. I'd like to have a single rest note for
those measures, not "r1 r4" and not "r1 r2". How to do that?\
R1*5/4 in 5/4
R1*6/4 or R1. In 6/4
HTH,
Carl
What about "9/8"? Etc...things that don't have a denominator of 4.
Thanks,
Ken
