Float Rests

Version 01.55.00
Added 20 Dec 2013 (last updated 07 Mar 2014)

For use with Sibelius 7.1, Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius 8.x, Sibelius 18.x, Sibelius 19.x, Sibelius 20.x, Sibelius 21.x, Sibelius 22.x, Sibelius 23.x and Sibelius 24.x

Moves rests that are under beams to the first position where the rest will not change the stem length of the beamed notes.

It will only move rests in bars whose notes and rests are in a single voice, and skips cross-staff-beamed notes. Set the Engraving Rules option to beam over rests before running this plugin.

Rules for note layout are complex, and the plugin will not always get the position correct, so please check the output visually.

Updated 4 January 2014 to support rests with stemlets
