Getting rid of Voices
Hi guys, I currently exchanged my tenor and soprano voices to voice 3 and 4 in order to put it into a piano reduction, and when I did this, I noticed rests on the top of each measure with the one voice selected, and then I exchanged them back because I thought it would get rid of the rests, however they just went to the third voice. Is there any way at all to delete all of them? I'll attach the score below, if you can help thank you!

Rests in voice 1 can't be delete but those in other voices can. Select all (or the relevant subset), exclude voices 1 & 2 from the selection via View / selection filter, then Delete.
In the future, better to leave everything in voices 1 & 2. You should almost need voice 3 or 4 unless a staff literally had more than two voices at once.
