I am trying to reproduce the notation of the measure shown in the first example. I thought that the easiest way would be to notate all the notes in both layers 1 and 2 and then just hide every other note in each group. Conceptually this worked, but it had the side effect of breaking the 16th beams as shown in the second example. Is there an easy solution to extend the 16th beams in this scenario or should I take a different approach to getting this to match the original?
Opposite stemming within beam groups

As I recall, the answer to this dilemma is to not hide the rests, but to move them off the page.

… and to move the rests off the page, consider using the plug-in Move Rests - much faster and easier than moving each rest individually.

Thanks Zuill and Peter,
I've incorporated your suggestions and got it to look the way I wanted it. I get a little nervous having rests floating around off the page somewhere, but I guess it's no worse than all of the items I have to pull off the page to get linked parts to work.
