Rests appear in Drum Score
When writing drum scores, on some bars a rest symbol appears on the Hi Hat stave after I enter the first beat. It modifies as usual if I add cymbals, but if there are no cymbals on the bar it stays. On other bars with no cymbals it doesn't appear at all.
Can anyone tell me why it appears or how to get rid of it?

It appears you have entered notes into voices other than what you presumably meant. Check out the sections of the Handbook on Voices and also on Drum notation to leanr more about how drum notation works.
BTW, note in your picture, measures 1 and 2 are notated incorrectly as well - the correct way to notate this would be to have two separate voices, with the top voice going rest note rest note, the bottom voice going note rest note rest.

thanks, I checked on my all my drum beat scores where it was happening, it was a voices problem as you said.

I disagree that the notation is "incorrect". There are different ways of notating drums and in some cases, hand and feet aren't notated in different voices.

True, but in that case the stem directions would be different from what is shown.
