s means "spacer rest". It's an invisible rest. See Notation Reference, p. 39. you can use it in chord mode. It's not wrong to think in sixteenths but it's more common in 4/4 time to think in quarter notes or half notes. 10 sixteenth notes are equivalent to one eighth note and two quarter notes (or one half note). The eighth note belongs to the first half of the bar and the invisible half note rest just completes the bar (g4.+g8 + s2). > Also, thanks for the template you provided me with.
