I seem to remember in previous versions, when I applied Rhythmic
Notation to a measure, it changed what was in Layer 1 to stemmed
slashes, and if I had notes in other layers it also DID NOT shift any
Layer 1 rests up by six steps, but left them in the staff.
In version 2008a, (and all other versions I have going back to 2005!)
however, Rhythmic Notation staff style seems to MOVE the layer 1 rests
up if I have anything in other layers. I don't remember Rhythmic
Notation working this way! Did I really go back uncomplaining and shift
EVERY Rhythmic Notation layer 1 rest back into the staff before? I am
quite sure that I always had Layer 1 set to shift rests, etc, up by six
steps, and that Rhythmic Notation was smart enough NOT to shift the
rests, but apparently I am mistaken!
Does this strike anyone else as stupid and useless? I notice that newer
versions of FInale are now carrying extra versions of Slash Notation and
Rhythmic Notation to allow items in other layers to show, but what is
the use if the rests get moved? I am thinking of drum and piano parts in
jazz charts.
I must be getting old. Gotta keep up the folates...
There is a setting in the Layer Options to leave the rests and not move
them if there is anything in other layers. Perhaps you can adjust that
before applying the staff style.
