Piano. Two voice, first LH note then RH note, LH, RH, LH, RH, etc. With the voice that isn't being played there is a rest and sometime it is put under the played note. Can I hide these rests? I tried all suggested ideas on forums and they didn't work. Using Sib 7.5.

Didn't work. Highlighted some notes but nothing changed with the rests.

It should also have highlighted any rests in voice 2.

Can you send me the file? (mike@mike-lyons.co.uk) it's easier to work out the issue rathern than all the 12-hours out of sync back and forth.

I should have been more specific. It did hide the rests. However, when I went to do the 2nd voice notes started to be deleted? That's when I gave up.

Some thoughts.

Do you need two voices?

You can delete some rests. Select the rest, delete. Rest turns gray. Repeat, rests is deleted.
