Re: vertical position of beamed rests

[Casey Anderson]

hi urs,

sure, but refactoring all the rests would be very difficult as the score is already completely generated...we are hoping to simply make this change when necessary on a case-by-case basis. any idea how to do so without refactoring the entire score (there are 64 of them)?

syntax for positioning rests help you?
