I go into editable notation mode and enter notes by right clicking on the desired dotted grid line. When needed, I check the "rest" box and enter the desired rest. Okay, This where it gets interesting. If I enter a "forced" rest (without checking the rest box) by entering a note on the second beat (fith grid line), or any beat "after" the frist graid line of a beat, the rest that appears is in "Black". But if I enter a rest by checking the "rest" box the rest is entered in "Blue". When printing, these "Blue" rest do not print at all. I'm beginning to think it might be a setting with my printer, Huh? Harpo It's not what you're "Playing", It's what you're "Saying"!

These rests do print here without a hitch. Check on the print preview and try potentially different printers, such as PDFCreator and see whether that gets you to second base. Martin

OP Harpo Apprentice Joined: May 2005 Posts: 120 Boston, Ma / NY, NY	Well! I figured this out myself! The problem wasn't a setting in the "Notations Option" dialogue, nor was it related to the amount of "Ink", or a setting in my printer. This was the problem: After I entered all of my notation, including rsst, it is necessary to disengage the 'Editable Notation Mode" button! Once that is disengaged the "rests" that are entered in blue, all turn black! If someone can now explain exactly "why" this feature is available in the first place, it would finally put my mind at ease. There must be a specific purpose for this, huh? Who's got the answer to this one?? Harpo Last edited by Harpo; 11/30/11 04:54 PM. It's not what you're "Playing", It's what you're "Saying"!
