[Finale] Re(2): Moving Overlapping Rests in Opposing Direction
Thank you Christopher, JW Change did it! And in the simplest way I handled the issue! Thanks again for the suggestion and thanks to JW: I know where my next donation will be forwarded to.

Create the rest scenario only, in a further layer then copy that with the hide layer function.

Re: [Finale] Moving Overlapping Rests in Opposing Direction
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 think you'll have to tweak it manually in these cases, and I'd trust that better. R.

[Finale] Moving Overlapping Rests in Opposing Direction
I'm back after a long-term forced separation with this list, and do really need someone's advice about an unusual graphic layout problem I incurred in and for which I havn't found any convenient solution. Here's the issue: I have different duration rests in layers one and two overlapping; I haven't checked out the 'Adjust Floating Rests' for these two layers in Document Options because I need to have them floating at different steps from case to case, obviously within the same piece. Up to now, I have accomplished this effectively by using staff styles but, unfortunately, the Staff Setup window don't distinguish smaller rests than the half rest,only allowing to separate at various different distances, any combination between rests equal o bigger than the half rest while grouping all other small rests in one category named 'Other Rests'. I found myself stuck when in the need to separate two differen rests smaller than the half rest, like a quarter rest and an eight rest; the staff style will move the two in the same direction while, in other cases, I was able to overlap two different staff styles placing the rests in opposite directions. Any hint?
