General Discussion / How do I make long bar rests?
I am currently scoring a piece of music for individual parts. At certain points, the music has long rests, for instance a 16 bar rest, but rather than inserting 16 whole bars is there any way of grouping all the rests? Like they do in a lot of orchestral music when say a violinist has a 24 bar rest and instead of wasting a whole sheet of just rests the composer just writes it in one bar with a 24 over the top. Is there any way of doing that here?
Hope you get my gist!
Thanks! Matt
