numering measures of a solo rest
My score has the piano playing 9 measures before the solo comes in.
On the solo part, I put 1 measure with a 9 above it but the next measure is numbered as measure 2.
How can I put one number above a measure rest and notate that it denotes 9 measures of rests when I print the solo part?
Thank you

Just leave 9 empty measures (or rather just containing full measure rests). Then press keyboard shortcut M. Musescore will automagically merge those into a single multimeasure rest with a 9 above it and the measure numbering correct.

Re-reading the initial post I am puzzled by the first sentence "My score has the piano playing 9 measures before the solo comes in.". Surely that means you already have 9 empty measures in the solo stave if it has the same number of measures as the piano staves. Therefore just create the individual parts. Multimeasure rests are turned on by default in parts but off by default in the main score.

The OP also wrote:

That statement seems like the solo part was being written as a stand-alone score. So actually 2 scores - a solo.mscz file and a separate piano.mscz file - rather than a combined score from which individual parts could be generated.
In any event, score attachment, I'm sure you'll agree, is often the best way to mitigate confusion.
