Musescore 4.3.2 not able to delete multi-measure rests
I wanted to create about 15 measures in between a part of the song I am making, but later decided to delete them. When I tried to delete them nothing happened. I even toggled "Multi-measure rests" off, and tried to delete, but still nothing happened. Is there a solution for this?

What did you do to try to delete them?
Post again and attached the score - the actual .MSCZ file.

I'm on Mac so I selected all of the measures I wanted to delete by holding shift down, then I pressed backspace. I don't want to post the entire thing because I'm not comfortable with it. Hopefully I can still find help without publishing!

Backspace doesn't delete measures it deletes the content. This leaves behind only a measure rest in each measure and thus allows the measures to be included in a multimeasure rest. To delete the measures themselves select the measures and press CTRL+Backspace
