How to create multimeasure rests in finale?
Jeff
specify a measure of rest with a larger number on it that indicates,
for example, 10 measures of rest.
The manual's instructions seems so confusing. Thanks for any help!

User manuals...who needs 'em!
There might be an easier way to do this, but I have yet to discover it...
What you need to do is actually create 10 (or however many) measures of
rest, then extract the part, and the multimeasure rest will appear in the
extracted part (yes, you have to do this even if you're writing a
single-staff piece or are trying to create a multimeasure rest within a
group).
Finale used to have a "special part extraction" feature where you could
convert empty measures to multimeasure rests without having to go through
the actual extraction process. Looks like they did away with that.
Shame...I actually found it useful.

Not so. Select the measure tool. Then select the measures you want to group
into a multimeasure rest. Then select create multimeasure rest. Ta-da.

Measure tool, select measures to combine, and choose Measure >
Multimeasure Rests > Create.
If you set all of the places you want rests broken by using Measure
Expressions with "break multimeasure rest" checked, you can just select
the whole document and create multimeasure rests.

And further, special part extraction still exists in Finale 2004.
