Description

Your idea

I think it would be ideal if drum kits had these settings for Rests (multiple voices) by default

  • Merge Matching Rests
  • 2 space default vertical offset
Problem to be solved

Default settings (notice the vertically offset quarter note rests in the first measure)

Prior art

To my knowledge, the "Merge Matching Rests" setting can be applied in Staff/Part properties, but the vertical offset is a style, I believe it would be more desirable to set that as the default only for the drum kit stave by default, not the whole score
