Cues notes stacked on rests

October 28, 2018, Musescire 2.3.2

Greetings,

I am coping the 2nd trombone part from ssssssssss aaaaaaaaaa to change the clef from tenor to bass. Before my first entrance, there are several measures of a trumpet solo. The part, as written has the solo "stacked" on top of my measures of rest. I have copied the trumpet solo unto my part, but the solo replaced the measures of rest I originally had in this section.

Is there any way to have both the solo notes and rests "stacked"?

Thanks,

How to add cue notes
After a prolonged rest in a score, a short passage of small-sized cue notes is used to signal to the musician that s/he is shortly to resume playing. To add cue notes:

To instrument parts only
From the menu, select Style→General...→Score, and untick "Create multimeasure rest;"
Create the parts;
Copy and paste the cue notes to the desired location in the part;
Select the pasted cue notes and tick "Small" in the Inspector to reduce the size;
Also, for the same cue-notes, untick "Play" in Inspector to mute the notes;
Add staff text to the first cue note, with the name of the instrument providing the cue. Style/format the text as required;
On the first actually-played note after the cue, add appropriate staff text.
To main score and instrument parts
From the menu, select Style→General...→Score, and untick "Create multimeasure rest;"
In the main score, copy and paste the cue notes to the desired location;
Select the pasted cue notes and tick "Small" in the Inspector to reduce the size;
Also, for the same cue-notes, untick "Play" in Inspector to mute the notes;
Add staff text to the first cue note, with the name of the instrument providing the cue. Style/format the text as required;
On the first actually-played note after the cue, add appropriate staff text;
Create the parts.
