How can I fix this imported (from pdf) score?

• Jan 12, 2023 - 14:02

I imported a transcription from a pdf and it was almost perfect! I fixed a few things and there is one more I can't figure out. The pdf is a lead sheet with chord symbols, none of which were included - that is fine with me, I just put them in. But ... One of the chord symbols ended up being imported as a rest right above the staff, and I can't get rid of it! I'm sure it's simple if one knows what to do.

I've attached 3 files

  • screenshot of one measure of the PDF source
  • screenshot of that measure, after import into musescore
  • mszcz file of that measure as imported

That rest is in Voice 1 and the notes are in Voice 2. You can't delete a rest in Voice 1 so the solution is to swap Voice 1 with Voice 2 then delete it. (Tools >Voices >Exchange Voice 1→2).
