Thanks, here's a temporarily uploaded work-in-progress (_sheets_ is what I'm working in-this-case) http://trixtar.org/3/music/images/sOs-p1of4.png don't try to follow it, it actually begins on page-2 of 4. To make these I only 'start' with the editing page screen capture. I do exactly what you do when the luxury avails but seldom keep rests less than 1/4. This bugger in particular is soon going from 7 minutes and 4 pages to 10 minutes and 5 pages so I'm desperateley 'crunching' (remember what that used to mean in programming?). Since the stage of (guitar) learning I aim to assist is very far from the concept of rests altogether (aka white-knuckle death-grip) I can shamelessly just remove ALL rests IF the app helps me with it when required. A simple [if rest then don't show in editor] option would help a lot, stricytly a show/view feature. If it's too involved or if nobody else wants it then forget it :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
