Hi List,
I can't get a multi-measure rest to appear in a two-bar first
ending of a linked. The measure attributes are set so that a rest
should appear, but even after I select the bars and choose to
create a multi-measure rest, Finale still keeps individual bars of
rest.
I've even extracted the part from the score (thinking it had
something to do with the linked part), but that didn't work.
Amy I missing something here? Is this a known bug?

Ryan,
Hmm, weird. This behaves itself on my system (Mac OS 10.4, Finale 2009)
Did you select the measures, go to Edit menu>Multimeasure Rests>Create?
If this doesn't work, then make sure the measures are REALLY empty
(no REAL whole rests showing up; they look just like the default
ghost rests, but they prevent multimeasure rests from forming. Delete
the contents just to make sure.)
Then check any expressions that may be in the measures and make sure
that their attributes are not set to Break Multimeasure Rest.
After this, it may be corruption. Copy the contents to a new file and
see if the problem copies along with the contents. If it does, I
would suspect an expression or actual contents that you may have missed.
The only problems I have had involve the right-hand brackets
sometimes disappearing when I create multimeasure rests in first
endings, and sometimes I can't select the left-hand bracket in that
circumstance, either.
