Is there a way to create a fermata that covers the entire measure? I'm notating an aria from Mozart's La Finta Giardiniera for someone and there are two such measures., In the printed score, the fermata stretches from one bar line to the other.

Never mind. Since it's for printing purposes only, it doesn't matter if it plays so I made a slur over the full measure, and then added articulation 41, which is a dot. And I moved the dot to be centered under the slur. Hence, a full measure fermata!
