I got myself a copy of print music to help with creating midi's and notated sheet music to help me learn other instruments.

The problem I have is that even though I have selected a time signature the opeening and closing bars are often filled with rests which I cannot seem to eliminate. Naturaly the opening and closing bars total are in acocrdance with the time signature entered.

Any ideas how to edit this out? When the tune is played back as a midi you always get the silence as the scroll line hits the rests.
