Problem with multi-measure rest

• Feb 12, 2024 - 07:34

Hi,
I have one range of measures that will not make a complete multi-measure rest. Measures 14-26 of mvt. 1 in the viola and cello parts get chopped up into 8-1-4 measures instead of a 13-measure rest. I've checked each measure to ensure the "break multi-measure rest" box is unchecked. As far as I know the measures are completely empty. The other multi-measure rests in these parts work just fine. Help!!

Here's my score:
Berns - La Primavera (Spring).mscz

Correct part.
Solution:
1 - Copy measures 14-26 (Control C)
2 - Delete measures 14-26
3 - Insert 13 empty measures
4 - Paste (Control V)

In measure 23 there is a system text element without content. Therefore, you cannot see it. This is the cause of this interruption.
Solution:

Press 'M' to switch to the single rest display.
Insert a new system text with any content in a free measure or select an existing system text.
Click on it with the right mouse button and select "all similar"
In the properties of the system text, add a frame - you will then see an empty frame in measure 23
select it and delete it.
Finally, select another system text (marked by the frame), select all similar and remove the frame again.
Now press 'M' again.

[Edit]
This must be done in the excerpts, as the score itself contains far fewer system texts.
I'm a bit surprised, because system text is normally only set in the score and then applies to all instruments.
