Hi all,
When you define a measure expression to break a MM rest, it separates
that measure from a group mm rest. (I can't figure out how else it
could work, but I'm hoping.) So, when you have a "To Coda" sign that
happens to appear at the end of 6 measures of rest in a part, that mm
rest will be broken into 5 measures of mm rest and one separated
measure, with the "to Coda" at the end of that separated measure. It is
possible to force that sign to appear as I'd like it - at the end of a 6
measure block rest, by applying it in the part to the first measure of
that mm block, but that will not work with linked parts (or at least not
without a lot more trouble showing and hiding things).
Am I missing something here? Is there some "engraving" style reason for
separating that measure from the block rest?
Is there an easy way to accomplish the goal of - for example, a "to
Coda" sign at the end of 6 measures of rest without breaking the block
into 5 and 1 that still maintains the integrity of assigning the
expression to the correct measure. This has plagued me for a long time,
and I am only now coming around to asking for advice. Ideas?
You mention "expression" -- are you placing the To Coda sign as an
expression or as a Repeat? If you design it as an expression, you can
simply leave the "break multimeasure rest" box unchecked and things
should work as you wish.
I see no way to accomplish what you want, using the Repeat tool version
of that sign. There are no options in the Repeat menu or Document
Options to not break multi-measure rests for repeats.
