Showing empty measures as number confused by key change

• Nov 24, 2023 - 07:53

Hi all, I found a minor bug; if you drag a key signature onto the score then switch to count of measures, it (correctly) shows the count before & after the key change - however, if the key doesn't change (ie I dragged the same key sig onto the score by mistake!) it still splits the count. The only way to get out of this is to delete the measures and re-insert them.

Minor UI whinge! - I had to search online to find out how to switch to count of empty measures; it doesn't seem to be a menu option anywhere, just a mysterious "press m key" (has to be lower case).

It may be that this is the case in MuS 4, but I can't believe it.
In MuS 3.6.2 you can simply delete this extra key signature. Select it and press delete.
Any addition, a new key signature, a double bar line, staff or staff text and other things will interrupt the multi-measure rest.

Indeed, it is no menue option. But it is described in the handbook:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/measure-rests-and-multimeasure-rest…

In MS4, all the options for multi-measure rests are in Format >Style... > Rests > Multimeasure Rest (enable)
In MS3, the limited options are in Format >Style... > Score > Create multimeasure rest (enable)
