I have had a sudden mental blockage!
In a single bar I have two notes with downward facing staffs, both minims (half notes). There are also three notes with upward facing staffs. a dotted minim and two quavers (eighth notes) Can I insert these and preserve the correct bar length without using layering? I don't want to use a single layered staff in a 9 page score!

This is one way. You have to enter the rest chord with a small offset and then edit it in notepad to make the offset bigger.
Thank you, Peter, I will try that.

Thanks Peter. That's really useful when only a few bars require unusual tricky insertions of a second voice and (as Tony says) you don't want a long layered staff. It surprises me that it also plays back correctly. The dotted minim ignores the crotchet rest in the rest-chord and continues to sound for its full value. I suppose this has been discussed before in the forum but I must have missed it.

Some combinations require layering as RestChords cannot be beamed :(
