Adjusting multimeasure numbers when measure numbers are ignored
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2024 11:51 pm
I have a piece with a piano cadenza. The original publication numbers all the measures in the cadenza so I need to follow that, but some measures are too dense to notate easily. So I used multiple measures for those dense measures, and selected the extra ones and unchecked "Include in measuring numbering". So far so good: the measuring numbering comes out as expected for all parts.
But in the parts, the multi-measure rests for the cadenza in the parts have the wrong count: they include all actual measure numbers rather than just those that I've said to include in the measuring numbers. As a simple example in the attached file: the flute should have 3 measures of rest to match that the measure where it enters is measure 4. Instead, it has 4.
Did I miss something to make the numbering correct? Else I'm wondering what my options are here. Given that it's a cadenza, I can take out the number for the multi-measure rest, but I don't want to have to go through all the parts and do that manually. Or leave the number since no one will count it anyway. Or I could go back and put everything into the correct dense measures in the piano part, but really it's quite difficult to edit that way; the measures are simply too wide (particularly editing on my laptop; if I had a wide monitor it would be different). I guess if I edited in page view mode I could put it in one measure and use measure split points to make it possible to edit the wide measure. Or... ??
