I've just started learning SmartMusic's Compose feature whereby I can create my own musical score. I'm starting with Mary Had a Little Lamb (the hello world program equivalent for any music notation software).

How do I add rests?

I know I've done this before but can't remember how.

Searching for this has not found anything useful.

In the PDF documentation here, it says you can press the zero (0) key to enter a rest of a specific duration, so if you've selected a half-note, and press the zero key, a half-note rest is entered.

To switch an existing note to a rest, press the s-key. The s-key switches a note to a rest or a rest to a note.

This video shows using the s-key.

  • It's gone for me too.... And I published it. I'm guessing YouTube didn't like me doing that.
