Hey everyone,

I'm making parts for a big band score and i'm having a problem with the multi rests on some of the instruments. As you see in the screenshots, there is a big space after the multi rest which i can't remove. It's not on all of the multi rests in the parts (baritone sax in this case), only a couple, but i can't seem to get rid of it. Any ideas?

Cheers!

Have you been dragging barlines? (Naughty!)

Try (in the part) [ctrl]a, [ctrl][shift]n
If that doesn't work, try selecting the barline itself and pressing [ctrl][shift]p
If that doesn't work try [ctrl][shift][alt]p instead.

If that doesn't work, try selecting the multirest and pressing [ctrl][shift]d followed by [ctrl][shift]p

If that doesn't work you'll need to send the actual score to my email address (in my signature) so I can examine it more closely to see what might be going on

The above keypresses are for Windows, if you're on a mac you'll have to use the appropriate alternatives..
