Thanks for the suggestions. Clearing the measure did it. There must have
been a real rest in that measure.
I missed this in the manual: "If a whole rest was entered in a measure,
that measure will not be included in a multimeasure rest until you erase
the whole rest (using the Simple Entry or Speedy Entry tools, or the
Mass Edit Menu's Clear commands)."
What's the advantage of the of having the Staff Attribute "Display Rests
In Empty Measures" and of having a real rest not be included in a
multimeasure rest?
When you enter any data in a measure, MM thinks that you put it there
because you want it to show for some reason. That's logical, in my
opinion, otherwise why bother entering it in the first place. And since
you apparently want to be sure that item (whatever it may be, rest,
note, expression, whatever) MM has decided not to include that measure
in multi-measure rests, lest you bombard them with complaints about how
the single whole measure rest you wanted visible has been enfolded into
a multi-measure rest.
This is a no-win situation for them - a sort of "damned if they do,
damned if they don't" situation.
On the other hand, for those situations where you use the measure tool,
manually select the measures and tell the program to create the
multi-measure rest, I think they should allow you to include ALL your
selected measures in the rest, even those which have notes in them. If
YOU select it, it should be included, regardless.
