multimeasure rest won't work on measure 1
As explained here: http://www.musescore.org/en/handbook/measure-operations
Break multi-measure rests. This property separates a multi-measure rest at the current measure. If the current measure contains a change of time signature then MuseScore marks this property automatically.
This should be changed for the first measure, otherwise it's impossible to have a multi-measure rest at the beginning of a part. In fact if the property is un-checked it is automatically re-enabled.
Kind regards,
Lorenzo.

What version of MuseScore are you using?
For what it is worth there doesn't seem to be any problems in the latest nightly build . Multi-measure rests are not fully supported in versions 0.9.5 and earlier. In the next release they will be much better supported.

Ok it seems to work in nightly build (0.9.6) but is there a way to select not to interrupt multi-measure rests for multiple measures (this is importing existing scores)? I tried through styles, but nothing changes.. the only thing that seems to work is setting the property for each measure.
Thanks,
Lorenzo.

Could you share a file you are having difficultly with?
Hi sure.. Here's the file. I would like to "condense" all the initial rests to a multi-rest, If I change the styles I only get single multi-rest like symbols but still separated measures. The only way is to manually change the property for each measure.

PS: please ignore the strange page layout... it's not a bug but in the file :)

Out of curiosity how was the file created?
The problem with the measures is they aren't proper full measure rests. The only way I could workaround the problem was the following procedure for each measure.

David,
Indeed. They are converted from an obscure format by a script I have no access to (I'll ask the developers).
Guess I'll also have to investigate the XMLs better.
Meanwhile thanks a lot for looking at this.
