Whatever the reason, this seems like a simple thing made unnecessarily complicated. Or I'm creating a lead sheet and the bass drops out for 24 measures. Or maybe I'm creating a chord chart and I want an Em chord to continue for 24 measures. Why would I want a multimeasure rest in a solo part? Maybe I'm John Cage. Suppose I want a 24 measure rest in such a score - why should I have to first insert 24 individual measures so that Musescore can concatenate them into one 24-measure rest? I simply want to insert one measure with a multimeasure rest and "24" above it. Many scores are standalone parts - solo instrument, chord chart, lead sheet, tablature, etc. I've scanned the 8 years of on and off commentary on this but it seems there is still something missing. This is the best music writing software I have ever seen. I can continue to transcribe the rest of my father's composition. I saved the modification to the file name I chose to call the music. Finally, I repeated the previous steps again to increase the count from 3 to 4 in order to show that number in one measure to indicate that the composer wants the instrument part (or organ) to rest for 4 measures. The number above the whole rest in the measure changed the count from 2 to 3. Then I right-clicked in the middle of the three staves again and clicked the shortcut option to add a measure. Now I repeated the above steps to highlight all three staves in the empty measure with the number 2 above the multi-rest bar. The number above each of the whole measure rest signs changed to the number 2. With all three staves highlighted, I right-clicked in the middle of them and left clicked on the option to add a measure. Next, I held down the shift key on my keyboard of the computer, then clicked once on the bottom bass clef staff to highlight all three staves for the right hand, the left hand and foot pedal parts. I double-clicked on the treble clef staff of the measure that is supposed to have a rest all through it to highlight it. Still the measure just showed the rest sign to indicate that only one whole measure had the rest sign on all staves (treble, bass and the pedal note staff for organ music, which I am trying to transcribe from an arrangement that my father wrote many years ago). I did click in the box to create multi-measure rests, then clicked ok. I read that part about creating multi-rest bars, but even then as I tried what you suggested, nothing seemed to happen. You understood exactly what I was trying to find.
