Thanks for pointing this out, Hiroaki. There is an error here, but I don't think it's the one you had in mind. The first and last vertical shift assignment in the second bar are being observed. In the middle two, the shift assignments immediately follow "d" and therefore--- according to PMX's syntax rules---should apply to the dots only, not the rest symbols. So if anything should be shifted on those rests, it is the dots, but they are not shifted. I haven't chased down the exact reason, but it clearly suggests that at some deep level dots on rests work differently from dots on notes. Before I go to the effort of fixing this behavior and making it possible to shift dots on rests, I would like to hear from someone that they would ever find a use for that feature. In the entire life of PMX as far as I can recall, no one has ever requested it or even mentioned it. I suppose that's because the most common reasons for shifting dots have to do with chords or slur or tie ends, none of which applies to rests.
