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.
this would be great for creating TACET movements in linked parts as
one mega MM rest: the items which would normally break MM rests
that are attached to measures (tempi, time sig changes, alternate
barlines, repeats etc.) could be ignored. this would have to be
obvious that it is an exception, perhaps a big red flashing warning
sign when you attempt to do it; with the option to show or not show
the starting time sig... and more i can't think of off the top opf
my head at the moment...
I have to say that as an orchestral musician I HATE those big tacet
parts. I never know how long the darn thing is, and I live in fear
that I will miss my entrance, like I did in my very first
professional orchestra gig ever because of one of those tacet parts.
I don't usually write them myself, unless it is really obvious where
the movement ends.
