Hiding notes and rests

A hidden note or rest in SongWriter still takes up horizontal space, but it doesn’t play back or print out. Hiding a rest is an excellent way to provide a placeholder in order for a second voice to enter in the middle of a measure. Hiding a note or rest will not hide lyrics and chords assigned to the entry. It will hide other items attached to a note or rest such as articulations or expressions

To hide a note or rest

  1. Click the Simple Entry tool  image\Speedy_Entry_Tool.gif, and CTRL-click a note.
  2. Press H. To show the note or rest again, press H again.
