If I've manually adjusted the vertical level of rests by dragging them up or down in Simple or Speedy entry, is there a way of setting them back to their default positions? Music Spacing/Manual Adjustments: Clear doesn't seem to do it.

JW Change will do it, if no other way.

I couldn't see how to do it with JW Change. I saw how to set the vertical level, but that's not what I want. I want to clear it for the entire document.

If you set the Vertical Level to 0 (with Relative off), that's the default vertical position.

Also, the "Move Rests" plugin will do it. It's under "Note, Beam and Rest Editing".

Thank you, N.--Move Rests does it.

JW Change does not--Vertical Level = 0 doesn't take into account offsets Finale makes for beams.
