Delete Rests in Score Editor?

How do I do this?

(I know, I'm ********).

Clicking on the rest and deleting doesn't work.

You can't delete rests. They're automatically displayed. For example, if you have a quarter note on the downbeat, Logic inserts rests to fill in the bar. Now, that's not to say that there aren't workarounds for this. There are many, actually... But which method to use depends on what you're trying to do. So post back with a specific example of what you're looking to achieve.

You can attach a screenshot. You have to host the picture on your own server (or an image hosting service) and then put the full URL of that image between exclamation points. Look at the Help & Terms of Use on the right, scroll down, and you'll see the exact format. If you can do that then it'll be a lot easier to help you with this.

Couple of key question tho...

1) is your part quantized?
2) what's the Quantization value as seen in the score editor? (this is a different quantization from what -- if at all -- your region is quantized to)

Turning Interpretation off in the inspector window will show you the true (not rounded off) note values.

That will make your 16ths look like 16ths.

In Score Window/Layout/Staff Styles you can add a voice to a staff and then choose to either display the rests for that voice or not.

Pianistic parts with multiple rhythms usually require this to display properly. If you want a rest for that part you can still insert one but they will not display automatically.

Yup, that might just do it. And in many cases that's all that's needed (plus subsequent editing of note lengths, if needed). However, the degree to which even non-interpreted notes will appear correctly has a lot to do with the score editor's Quantize value, hence my second question.
