I transposed a piece down a step, and Finale dutifully dropped the rests a step as well. I used to use a script for centering rests with v.2012 but can't get it to work with v25. Moving them all manually is a pain. Is there a shortcut?

The JW Change plugin is good for this, as it has filters that can be helpful.

It seems to transpose rests that have been moved from their default vertical position. It might be a nice feature to add to Finale to be able to choose whether or not to transpose rests in that transpose dialog.
