I checked the manual and thought that I was doing it correctly.
in example 1-
the 8th rests are colliding with the notes for the lower part. The
manual states that I can use a note (f\rest)
However example 2 below is more than totally bizzare as it raises all
sorts of notes but not the rests
So what should I be using?
