Don't do that. A double bar as well as a key change is an important
information for the player at the "place" where it occurs - as are ritardand0,
"a tempo", meter changes (which possibly do not change the counting like
changing from 4/4 to 12/8), etc. All this should stop collecting rest for
being printed as multiple rests.

If there is a problem with accidentals a cautionary or an explicit accidental
may solve the problem.

Everything occurs at the place where it belongs to e.g. 10 bar rest,
"rit." 3 bar rest, "double bar"+"key change"+"a tempo", 5 bar rest, ...

In all cases I know of there are identical parts for all players of
the same voice if there is a solo within a parts. E.g. in Bach
cantatas single movements are played completely solo e.g. by a violin.
This solo is printed in all parts.
Maybe that this practice could be dropped for "self-printed" parts.
Nevertheless it's a good exercise for the non-solo players to play
the solo at home :-)
