You have the default Multimeasure Rest definitions in the 
"Options/Document Options..." dialog (select the "Multimeasure Rests" 
page). These settings will be used next time mutlimeasure rests are 
created.

If you want to change existing multimeasure rests, you can now use 
Forza!'s "Settings Transfer" component to do that automatically. Do like 
this:
1. Make sure your you have Forza! 0.16, beta 16 (I just added it to the 
forza-talk group's file space: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/forza-talk/ )
2. Open all documents where you have multimeasure rests that need to 
be changed (you can open multiple documents in one go by using the 
Shift or Ctrl keys).
3. Have one extra "master" document open at the top where the default 
settings are correctly set for multimeasure rests.
4. When the master document is active, run Settings Transfer. Check 
"Multimeasure Rests" down in the list, select all the target documents on 
the right side (you can use the contextual menu for this), and also select 
the "Update existing Multimeasure rests to new defaults" option.
5. Press "Transfer" and all target document will now be changed to the 
new settings.
