Re: [Finale] Multimeasure rests

[David H. Bailey]

Actually, you CAN use the default whole rest, since its meaning is 
two-fold:  equal in length to a whole note, or, when the only thing in 
the measure it represents a whole measure of rest.  When it is the only 
thing present in the measure, its meaning is clear to me.

Thanks, Johannes. This is indeed what I was wondering about (and, as I 
said in another message, I made the mistake of quoting Ross from memory 
and forgetting that he doesn't actually recommend the method he 
describes). But I'm not sure the solution you give works with "early" 
music (17th century) if you want to keep the original time signatures 
and if you have different time signatures in a piece (C and 3/1, as 
happens quite often) for which you can't really use the same default 
whole measure rest. (I use the double whole note rest for a whole 
measure in 3/1).
