I have a group consisting of 2 staves.
The way the drummer reads it is the top staff is the first X of play through and the bottom staff is the second X of play through.
The top staff needs to have the standard multi-measure rest symbol and the bottom staff measures within the multi-measure rest need to be blank.
Is this possible? When I change either staff, the symbol changes for both staves.

Click on the rest (I use Speedy) and type H to hide it.

What?
It's not an actual rest but the graphic that is entered by Finale when you create a Multimeasure rest.

Sorry about that. I misunderstood the question.

Please describe your steps when you “change either staff”.
How are you doing that?
I suspect that you are doing something wrong.

are your two percussion staves part of a "grand staff" (two staves that are seen "as a group" by Finale), or are they separate staves (different channels, etc...)?
