Rest issues.
Hello.
I recently upgraded to Musescore 2.0, and have been very pleased with its performance so far. However, I recently encountered this issue: I could not place rests (By rests I mean empty beats such as quarter rests, eighth rests, etc.). I could place quarter rests, but I wanted to clean up the piece by converting some altered rests into half rests.
Thanks in advance!

There is the newness of the Start Center ;-)
For the record, I am not aware of anything that changed in this respect between 1.3 and 2.0. Combining adjacent rests has always been possible one of two ways. While in note entry mode, put cursor on first rest, select appropiate duration, and re-enter the rest, or while *not* in note entry mode, selecting the first rest, and then selecting appropriate duration.

Yeah, I had not been using 1.4 for very long, and I though that there may have been rests in the palette.

There was a rest in the palette, just as there is in 2.0. It's a picture of a quarter rest, but it actually uses the currently selected duration to determine the actual value. So you don't have to enter quarter rests then change them later - you can enter the correct rest type right from the start. See Note entry in the Handbook. Some subtle differences here and there between 1.3 and 2.0, but the basic process has not changed.

I wonder how and when it was determined that a quarter rest is the best generic representation of a rest. (I'm not disagreeing with it, as I don't believe there's any basis for suggesting that some other rest would be better suited or more intuitive.)
