Creating a quaver rest in Rachmaninoff transposition
Hi - new to MS amd trying to produce a transposition of Rachmaninoff's vocalise for piano / violin.
If you look at the 2 pics - first is the public domain c# minor copy I am working from.
And then mine is in E minor.
I cannot see how to create that quaver rest at the start of the measure in the original
The C# at the start of the measure with the diagonal line, is from the left hand stave moved up a system (hence the 2 part voicing on the left hand and the subsequent rests which are faded out)
Should there not be a quaver rest before the RH e minor triads at the start of the measure as in the orginal.
Thanks for any help.
What an incredible application. Beautiful output.
Jonathan

Yes, and I show the steps which I used to get this result:

This provides a layout which is almost identical to the Public Domain score.

Wow thank you so much for this.
I am going to take a proper look tomorrow when back in the studio.
I'm brand new to Musescore so really appreciate your help.
So in your example you have put the A# in the RH clef (I was putting it in the LH and then moving it up a system) - just wondering why that is Voice 4 and not Voice 3 - or is that immaterial?
Thanks

Because the A# has to be played by the right hand, I think it makes more sense to notate it in the RH treble clef.
"... just wondering why that [A#] is Voice 4 and not Voice 3 - or is that immaterial?"
Voices 1 and 3 are almost always stem-up, and Voices 2 and 4 are stem-down. So ideally I would use Voice 4 for this A#, because stem-down is the default stem direction.

Ah I see - thank you.

Followed your method and works perfectly.
Looks like cross staff notation is in order here
