Don't know if this has ever been discussed. I have a client who uses a lot of layers in his piano notation. Very useful, of course (He is using Encore, and gives me pdfs of the Encore scores to enter into Finale.) Not hard, but When he puts the notation in layers, he tends to leave layers incomplete. For example, he might put a half note (in 4/4) in layer 2 of the left hand part, and leaver the rest of that layer blank. The top layer (usually Layer 1) Layer one typically uses all four beats, as it should. Meanwhile, layer 2 contains 2 beats.. s.
I have always put rests in places where a layer stops short. Is this just compulsive/neurotic of me or is it actually required that we fill out the rest of the measure with rests? Is there an actual rule for this? A general practice that ignores the rule? Help.
