Noobie: Can't seem to put a 1/2 rest in the first part of a measure

• Apr 19, 2011 - 19:34

I'm trying to rest for 2 beats at the beginning of the measure and then come in on an 1/8 note on the down beat. It keeps putting the note BEFORE the rest and I can't figure out how to get it AFTER the rest.

Help please.

Thanks,
Bob

The way to enter what you describe is:

1. hit N to enter Note Input mode
2. hit "6" to set the time value to a half not
3. hit "0" to enter a rest
4. hit "4" to set the time value to an eighth note
5. hit the letter of the note you want to enter

See the section on note entry in the handbook for more.
