Hello,
I tried to create multiple rests but Finale didn't do it! I checked and "break multiple rests" in the Edit Measure Number Region menu is deselected...do you know how can I do to create multiple rests?

Thank you
Federico

Are you selecting the measures first?

Make sure there is nothing in those measures. You can post the document, and we will have a look at it.

Are you trying to create multi-measure rests in the SCORE or in a part? I don't think it's possible to do so in a score. You'll have to go to the generated parts to use multi-measure rests. As an alternative, you could create fake mm rests using a single empty measure and a custom smart shape.

You can create a multimeasure rest in a score, too.
But you seldom (if ever) need a multimeasure rest in a score.
