3 years ago The reason that the eighth-note rest was not affected was that it was explicitly positioned on the center line. Removing the position information causes it to behave like the quarter-note rest:

In the following example, the chord in the first measure (marked in red) influences the quarter-note rest's vertical position in the first measure (marked in blue):
When the chord is converted to a note, the rest moves to the correct position. The eighth-note rest is unaffected for some reason.
