Hi ... I'm having trouble combining rests in parts.
Please see the attachment, where I want to be able to combine all the rest groups into just one group.
I had thought you selected two or more of these groups and went to Layout - Split Multirest ... but I must have mis-remembered as that doesn't do anything.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

If you delete those line breaks that should combine the multirest bars.

Thanks. I had already tried that actually ... when I highlight one of the breaks and hit the delete key (or select Delete from the right-clicked menu) nothing happens.

If you click on the barline and press the return key on your keyboard, then the line break will toggle off.
