I need to creat TWO multicasts in a piece of music that are side by side containing 4 and 3 bars. I have switched the Multirest button off and created these and placed a bar with a random note to hold the split in the rests. However, when I switch back to Multirest ON position and delete the bar in between, Sibelius creates ONE maltreats of 7 bars?

Is there a work around for this, please.

Replace the normal barline between the bars with a 'special normal' barline OR use "Split multirest" (on the layout tab of the ribbon) on that barline.

Mike, thanks for that.
Its funny but I just realised yesterday that I have been placing multirests in my music - arse about face! I've been trying to create multicasts with the maltreats button switched on, finally I discovered the easy way - thanks
