Extend each measure with a rest
I have written a vocal exercise (attached) where in each measure there is the same set of notes at different pitches and a rest at the end. Now I would like to extend the rest at the end of each measure (changing the time signature and extending the measure).
Is it there a way to do this fast without having to copy/paste+extend rest for each measure?

Use insert mode to add a a rest to each measure, then change the time signature after each measure has already the "correct" number of beats for it.

Thanks.
In insert mode it seems I can only add notes, so I have to do:
1. A
2. Delete A note to make rest appear
3. Change time signature
(4. Squash new rest and existing rest to make a longer rest)
Is it there a faster way?
E.g. Ctrl+Shift+0 does not seems to insert a pause, and neither pressing 0 when in insert mode.

Another problem is that in insert mode, it always insert before the selected note. So if the note/rest has to be inserted at the end of the measure you can't:
- If you select the last note of the current measure the new note is inserted before the last, and then one needs to swap the two notes
- If you select the first note of the next measure, the new note is inserted at the beginning of the next measure

The fastest way I found to insert a rest at the end of the measure is:
1. Enter insert mode
2. Select note at the end of the measure
3. A
4. Shift+right
5. Del

If you insert at the start of the next measure (and skip m1) then that would work out as well after applying the new time signature though

Right! Thanks
