Clef changes at the ends of multi-measure rests seem not to have been included in spacing options--or is there something I am missing? I do know how to manually adjust the end point of each one manually, but it's an annoyance to have to do each of them one at a time.

So I'm just asking if there actually is some way to set it in advance so that clef changes are not superimposed on the ends of multi-measure rests.

Thanks,

Mark

I haven't found a way. I made a macro to fix them by hand. Probably someone could write a JW Lua script to do it.

Again, something that should have been fixed years ago... But hey, we got sharing! :roll:

Not what you are asking for, but:

With the settings in the attached screen shot there is less need for adjusting the right end of the shape:

OK Thanks, everyone. Yes, you'd think they would have fixed this by now.
