Rests too high

As shown in this snippet, the rests are often placed so high that they touch and sometimes also overlap the note beams.

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Note|Dur:32nd,Staccato|Pos:-7|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Rest|Dur:32nd,Staccato|Opts:VertOffset=-2
|Note|Dur:32nd,Staccato|Pos:-7|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Rest|Dur:32nd,Staccato|Opts:VertOffset=-3
|Rest|Dur:16th|Opts:VertOffset=-2
|Note|Dur:32nd,Staccato|Pos:-2|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
|Rest|Dur:32nd,Staccato
|Note|Dur:32nd,Staccato|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Rest|Dur:32nd,Staccato
|Note|Dur:32nd,Staccato|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Rest|Dur:32nd,Staccato
|Rest|Dur:16th,Staccato
|Note|Dur:32nd,Staccato|Pos:-3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
|Rest|Dur:32nd,Staccato
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

Of course I can lower the rests, but manually doing the thing is tedious.

I would not wonder at all if someone (Rick?) already signaled it.
I was not aware of this. It's just that I encountered it only yesterday.

This seems to be a problem with beams over 32nd and 64th rests. I don't encounter these very often (if ever).

Just changing the VertOffset doesn't solve the problem, the stem lengths need to be set as well.
If I wanted the beams to slant, I would use this:

NWC2 could handle this better. It should recognize that 32nd and 64th rests extend 2 positions higher than 8th rests, but it a rare problem.

Yes, of course.

Indeed I just got it for the first time.
