Notes and Rests (Hide) Plug-in, Notes and Rests (Show) Plug-in

How to get there

From the Plug-ins Menu, choose Note, Beam, and rest Editing, and then Notes and Rests (Hide) or Notes and Rests (Show).

What it does

Use the Selection Tool to select a region from which you wish to hide or show notes from all entries, then choose the Notes and Rests (Hide) or Notes and Rests (Show) command from the Plug-ins Menu. The plug-in allows you to hide all notes and rests in the current selection. You can also use it to make all hidden entries visible again.

This plug-in is equivalent to pressing “O” in Speedy Entry to hide a note or a rest.

Hidden entries are not printed and do not play back, but they can be used to influence the positioning of other musical items. A typical usage is to hide rests in contrapuntal keyboard music.
