Implicit rests and explicit rests behave differently. For example, the notation of explicit rests does not update automatically if their position in the bar or the time signature changes.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the explicit rests you want to turn into implicit rests.
  2. Turn the selected explicit rests into implicit rests in any of the following ways:
    • Press Backspace or Delete.

    • Choose Edit > Delete.

Result

The selected explicit rests are now implicit rests. You can check this by showing rest colors.
