This last part is not entirely correct. If you generate parts from an existing score, what controls the *creation* of MM rests is Document | Manage Parts | Part Creation Preferences | Create Multimeasure Rests. If this box is checked, then MM rests will be autocreated when the parts are generated.
HOWEVER this doesn't seem to work if you start a new Fin07 score from the Setup Wizard and have the wizard generate the parts for you. This looks like a bug. The workaround is to *uncheck* Generate Linked Parts in the wizard, and then after the score is created go in by hand and do Document | Manage Parts | Generate Parts etc.
