Pre-set full measure rests

• Apr 15, 2012 - 04:49

I'm new at this. Are the preset rests considered "full measure" rests. I'm trying to populate a measure in 4/4 time with a half note rest, then 3 quarter notes played simultaneously (chord) and 2 eight notes. This should add up to 4 beats. I can't get rid of the pre-set rest and I can't place the notes ahead of the rest in the measure. Can someone help me? Thanks

It looks like perhaps you have entered the notes in a different voice than the rest? Posting the actual score instead of just a picture would help.

If you can't place a note it may be because the value of the note you are trying to place is too large to fit there. Try seleting the rest and then changing it's duration.
