Empty measures with no rest
I would just like to know to prevent laborous work ahead of me:
Is it possible to somewhere set that there will be nothing in all the empty measures - meaning no whole rest? Just empty stave.
Or do I have to set every one manually to invisible?
Thanks.

No, and yes
But the latter is rather easy: right-click one such rest, select all similar, press V

Well, the problem with that is that selects all the rests. Even those in measures with notes...so that doesn't help me that much. I would really want to select only those in empty measures.
EDIT: Wait...I found it. "Select" -> "More..." -> "Same duration" ....Yay!

Just curious...
Are you using the "completely empty" measures (those without whole rests) for something other than inputting notes?
What laborious work ahead of you do you wish to prevent by eliminating those whole rests?

I'm not familiar with the piece, but I'm still not understanding what makes it unique that rests would be inappropriate. Note though that some composers choose to not show these empty measures at all. And that much is common enough that MuseScore supports it directly. Just enable other "cutaway" option staff/Part Properties.

yeah, i've noticed that "pendereckian" touch too...however what this feature needs is an option to shift the instrument name (abbreviation) right in front of the cut-out measures. otherwise in some circumstaces you need a ruler to figure out what is suppose to be playing that part. besides thats actually how it's done in these avantgarde scores anyway
