I don't understand how a rest in another layer will delay the 2nd 16th-note in the first layer by 1/32nd rest, which is the desired result. I need the sound of 16th note, 32nd rest, 3 16th notes. I don't know how that can be done without putting the rest in the same layer, or by doing what I did, which was to put the 32nd rest after the 4th 16th and then adjusting the start/stop times of the last 3 16ths to be a 32nd note late. I guess what you must be suggesting is to make the hidden layer have the playback of all three of the notes after the rest? Yes, that would have worked, but I much prefer the way I did it, which didn't require hidden layers (though I do use hidden layers for realizing trills and turns and so forth). -- David W.
