General Discussion / Re: Multiple measure rest
I do a lot of scores for my band where multi-bar rests appear all the time, such as when the brass section has 8 - 16 bars rest during the verse. This is what I do:

* Download the Swingdings font
* Put the individual full bar rests in, so all the parts still line up.
* Select all the bars that have full rests, not including the opening and closing lines
* Mark everything as "Never" visible
* Next to the opening line, add the text :n; (where 'n' is the number of bars to rest) in Swingdings font, ensuring "Preserve width" is checked. Move the resulting text so it appears roughly in the middle.

To be honest, the lack of this feature is not a deal killer for me, especially considering I can rip through a full score in an hour or two, which you frankly cannot do in Sibelius or Finale (which are ten times more expensive) no matter how hard you try.
