How is interval type relevant to fine-positioning of rests?

What does "rests to present some notes" mean?
Can you give an example of what you want to do?

Do you mean you don't see any changes when you fine-position half+whole rests?

That's what they should already be doing! Inside a stave,
rests should move in discrete steps (the distance
between adjacent stave lines) during fine-positioning until they have been
moved outside the stave at which point they should start moving continuously.
What do you see when you try fine-positioning rests?

Do you mean "drag" or drag with shift held down?
Dragging a rest while shift is held down will change its fine-positioning,
but not its absolute time. Dragging without shift held down will change the
absolute time of a rest, but not its fine-positioning.

If you mean "Redo" a fine-positioning operation after you have undone it,
then yes, that is a known bug/limitation.

I'm trying hard :)

Yes, reading you ok today!
