I have a chart where I want multirests to appear in only select sections of the part. The only way I know how to create multirests is by Layout>Breaks>Show multirests. This turns every passage in the whole part that has more than one measure of rest into a multirest though. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

If you turn off Show Multirests (temporarily), then for each barline where there are multiple bars of rest which you don't want to show as multirests:

- Select barline (the one after a bar of rest) > Split Multirests
- Repeat for next bar of rest
- When done, turn Show Multirests back on.

Not something I've had to do before, so maybe there's a better a way...
