Pat, the rests are more important to me. I would like to be able to say "At beat one, insert an eight note rest." That would make syncopating the start of a song SO MUCH EASIER than doing it with the chord notation we use now.

I had to do this:

[C. ^^C | Dm C ] [F , nul | ^F , nul ]

to create syncopation on the pickup of this song. Country music is SO full of syncopation and anticipated notes that an easier method would be a boon.

Upside is that I can get it close enough. Just asking because for those of us who do know notation it would be easier to do it that way, and likely more accurately as well.
