I tried to change actual value for multiple measure can only chanhe one measure's actual value.

I'm not sure I understand, "change actual value for multiple measure ".

Do you mean you want to add more measures to the multi-measure rest? If so then go to the measure after your multi-measure rest and insert a new measure as described in the handbook: measure operations .

I guess mse wants to be able to select several measures, then right click -> measure properties and change the actual duration of each measure in the selection. I must say I don't see why someone would like to do this instead of changing the time signature.
@mse? why do you want to do this?

This came up before , but here's a summary:

  1. Set the time signature as 4/4
  2. Right click on the time signature in the score and choose "Set Invisible"
  3. Click to select the first note of the measure
  4. Create > Text > Staff Text
  5. Type the numerator for the time signature (e.g. 120)
  6. Change font to "Mscore1", 20pt
  7. Press escape to leave text edit mode
  8. Click and drag to move "120" into place at the top of the time signature
  9. Repeat steps 3-8 for the denominator of the time signature

no more than 32 is available as the upper time signature number....
so you have just to use 4/4, make the first measure shorter, turn invisible the time signature, the silence of the first measure and the first bar between first and second measure, then add a pseudo-signature as staff text.
See files (the mscz is for 0.9.6)
