multi measure rests not compressing

• Mar 26, 2025 - 01:08

Hi folks!

Running into lots of bugs with the latest build:

OS: macOS 15.3, Arch.: arm64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.5.1-250800846, revision: 603eca8

One issue can be seen in the attachment. Note how some measures between multi-measure rests are not included in the MM rest. It's as though Musescore thinks it needs to leave one intact before starting another MM rest. But I don't want that.

Is this a setting I'm missing or is this a bug?

Thanks!

Some texts (Sax solo eg) were anchored in the measure preceding the multimeasure rest, thus interrupting it. Cut and paste texts directly on the multimeasure rest. I've added double barlines, not sure if that's what you want?

Okay, thanks. I was concerned that maybe where it was anchored was the issue, but because of the erratic positioning bug, I was unable to make progress with troubleshooting that.

But I see that I can use the Shift-Arrow feature to shift the anchor of the rehearsal marker as a way to get around the positioning bug that manifests when I use the mouse.

Thanks for the help!
