NOTATIO

Hi all, Is it correct to show two rests (example B) or is it ok to combine into one rest (Example A)? My Finale default is wanting to combine the rest, so I assume that may be right, but I thought I'd better check here. Gould talks about all this on p163, and I think she'd show 2 rests, if I underst...

Full credit to you, NeeraWM, for your perseverance! I agree 100% that there are a crazy number of hurdles to jump and many different hats to wear!

Hi OCTO, I will try to remember that! Anything to save on laser toner!
Thanks & Cheerio,
