Re: aligning variables with upbeats

That's what I figured… It's okay, I'll try what Mats and Kieren have suggested with the tags, and if that turns out to be more work than it's worth, then I can always just manually pad the variables with rests, I guess.

Thanks,

It won't give you multi-measure rests padded with ordinary rests.  It
might be a great addition to multi-measure rests if they self-padded
with ordinary rests for incomplete measures but it would likely not be
easy to implement properly.
