Hi all,

I'm working on a reasonably big project for someone, and I am currently extracting parts. There are sections when an instrument may not play for a number of rehearsal figures, but the composer has said he wants to maintain commas and pauses at certain barlines within these rests. The issue is, they are splitting up multibar rests if I make any changes to the score.

An example to clarify:

Bars 1-16 are empty.
Rehearsal figure 1 is at bar 8, with a pause also on this bar line.

Once I move something, the pause is splitting the multirest, so instead of an 8,8 split as I would like, I am getting an 8,1,7 or a 7,1,8...

Is there anyway I can do this, either by removing the attachment line, so that it is attached to nothing, or freezing the multirests so that they cannot split....

Many thanks in advance!

FranPoul
