The same happens if I ask "Open pdf in Preview".
I want to keep the Multimeasure rest 1.
Thanks for your help.

Without seeing the file, I would be guessing. You might try turning off the option to update MM rests automatically and see if this gets fixed.

Make sure the checkbox in this picture is unchecked.

The fact that it changed when printing is usually a result of Automatic Updating. If one had the option to show real rests, then changed to the shape manually, updating would change it back to the rests. I am guessing that is what was done. That option doesn't check or uncheck itself except in the case I mentioned, and only for the manually changed MM rests, not for the global setting.
