To set up the appearance of multimeasure rests

Use the Multimeasure Rest command in the Multimeasure Rest section of the Document Options to set up the default appearance of most of the rests in your score.

1. From the Document menu, choose Document Options and select Multimeasure Rest.
2. Specify how you want the multimeasure rests to appear when you use Extract Parts (in the File menu), when you turn on Special Part Extraction (in the Document menu) for one or more staves, or when you choose Create (in the Measure menu’s Multimeasure Rests submenu. For details about the settings in this set of options, see Document Options-Multimeasure Rests.
3. Optional: If you want to use a Shape to notate multimeasure rests, make sure that Start Numbering at ___ Measures is set to two measures. Finale will display a number on all multimeasure rests in your score. If you prefer that no number appears—as when using the new symbolic rest style, for example—enter the number of measures to be included in a multimeasure rest before Finale will display the number.
4. Click OK when your settings are complete. Finale uses these settings when you create multimeasure rests in the score. If you need to change the settings for a single multimeasure rest, use the Edit command in the Multimeasure Rests submenu (in the Measure menu).
