Re: rest in chord
Reply #1 –
The snippet shows 3 voices (1 stem up, and 2 stem down). The rests of the "restchords" apply to the stem down voices and are there to visually complete the lower voices time value of the bar.
NWC won't allow you to create this restchord as NWCs internal rules require that the rest be shorter or the same length of the note it is chorded with. As it is actually non functional in this context I usually place a text "rest" for the visual aspect.
