quick finale notation question

I'm currently using version 2007 of finale to do most of my work,

I was reading some of the various scores I have and noticed

is there a method in finale to write directly like this, or would I still have to insert the rests and just make them invisible to printing later on?

thanks in advance,

Simon

The best way would be to make the rests invisible indeed.

The other way to do it (but it does seem rather inconvinient) is to write everything on a single staff (the lower or upper) and cross staff the whole 4/32nds.

Don't see why to do it this way. Later on you will be searching to edit any wrong pitch and it will be tough to know which staff holds what.

its mostly for the final parts and less so for the composing stage.

to make it easier to read for the player than a mess of rests on a page

thanks for info, appreciate it.

write it all in one layer, and use the cross staff utility (under plug-ins, I think).

that way you don't have to make ANY rests invisible.. it does them all for you.

or

write it yourself, all in one staff, and cross-staff the notes yourself with the note mover. that way you have a single rest to invisible in the other staff.

How to do the same thing in Sibelius 5?
