If it's the thumb (or pick) that hits the muted strings, put it in the bottom voice (instead of the rests) - the top voice would then need 8th note rests at those points. |
Yeah, I started with three cross-head notes in the top voice, as you say, but the MuseScore playback system still wanted to play them as notes. With the rhythm slash it was muted so I could hear if things sounded right. I guess for the printed score I'll put it back into the top voice since it's done with the fingers.
Thanks for the reminder. Do you think the cross-head notes for "muted" will get the point across by themselves?
BTW, thanks for that link. Great reference to bookmark.
