Darcy,
I tried that, but it didn't work. I think there is some internal
measure that is messed up (there are a few things we can't tweak).
The weirdest thing about this bug is that older files open perfectly
in 2008, but new ones don't.

Hmm, I wonder if MakeMusic was trying to discourage us from using
dotted eighth rests at all in handcopied-looking music by making them
so kludgy in 2008?

I would have to object to that one. I think whole

what the name implies--in

Hi Chris,
What I was suggesting was that you could artificially move the right
boundary on the eighth rest character (and other flagged rest
characters) "too far" to the left -- so that it falls in the middle of
the rest, or even all the way to the left. This should theoretically
affect t
Darcy,
I've tried it, but everything seems to be OK and nothing I do really
does anything. I am assuming the 8th rest character is #228 and the
dot is #46 (that's what is selected in the Doc Options>Augmentation
Dots), and both have nice tight boundaries to the edges of the
glyphs. The pr
Hi Chris,
I haven't tried it, but I'm almost positive that you could fix this by
adjusting the FAN for the eighth rest character in Jazz Font.
Cheers,

I should have been clearer. I should have said "hide
the 3rd beat" not "hide the middle of the bar."
Personally, I don't think half rests should be used in
3/4 on beat two or beat one for that matter. It looks
clumsy to me.

Hi David,

In simple meters, you are right that the "one beat or less" rule for
dotted rests prevails, although my preference is actually to on

Yes, and those people are, at best, misguided.
Rhythms of any complexity in compound meters are made even more
difficult to read (and needlessly so) without dotted rests, which help
visually clarify the beat structure.
Even in 4/4, dotted half and quarter rests should be avoided, but
