General Discussion / Re: Help for the Cyber Hymnal
Thanks, Laurie and Admin for your explanations.  In Sibelius "extra" rests can be "hidden" so they are assumed, and not explicidly present in the score.  I guess the "layering" feature of NWC affords the same end result.

General Discussion / Help for the Cyber Hymnal
CyberHymnal needs help to get their NWC scores fixed.

Click on St. Francis Xavier/score --> See in Measure 3: dotted quarter (A-flat), eighth note rest , then eighth-note (B-flat), then quarter-note (G), then a quarter-note (F)
 
This is 4 and 1/2 beats in a 4/4 measure.  The eighth-note rest is "extra".  This happens
a lot in the scores.  Compare my transcription:

and you will see NO rests in measure 3 ...

Now the question is what are they doing wrong.  I tried editing the file, and removing the
dot makes no difference.  Is the voicing wrong ?  What do they need to do to correct it ?
