Q: How can I enter a bar rest for a specific voice in Sibelius?
For instance, when I write music in two voices, in the event that the first voice pauses, bar rests are automatically notated above the second voice, should it continue:
Conversely, this is not the case.
A: Locate the bar rest on the second Keypad layout, which can be used during note input to enter whole rests in a specific voice…
… or to turn existing notes or rests into a bar rest.
