ability to set max size (or egal size) of mmrest (and not just min)

• Jan 16, 2015 - 10:13

Hello everybody,

I would llike to request (not for 2.0 , but after as soon as possible...) an option about multimesure rest.

My little orchestral experience showed me that sometimes whatever you may have to count 2 or 100 mesure multimesure rest can have the same size.... (the number give you the information)

Of course, you can use Add less strech (to mm rest) or add more strech (to the mesure before/after), but it is manipulation (and you may have to do it more then 1/2 times to set the multimesure rest a size that is acceptable, and may have to combine with add more strech).... Or you could use some line breacks , but i think it is a pity.....

Here is an example (just hasard note placed to see , it is not listenable !!) I created from scratch (opening an existing 1.3 score does the same thing)

Written note are a little to close to each other (I didn't change anything else from the default than min mm rest size in General style)
* line two flute part
* line two viola part
(these are some example)
and on these both parts , multimesure rest on the same line take much space......

So it would be awesome to be able to set (with min space form multimesure rest) a maximum space for multimesure rest, or a stable one....

Is there other people interrested in that request ?
By the way, I don't know nothing about informatic, so I don't even know if it is possible such a thing....

Have a good day !

PS : sorry for my English.... (if it isn't understandable, I may be more precise in French, so I can post on French forum , and some one else could help me to express it in English then here....)
PPS : I used Beta 1 but the behavior is the same (for mm rest as I noticed from there) on Beta 2

PPPS : I thought I had already written that , but when I search I don't find it !!

I understand youy perfectly. A setting for the maximum size of a multimeasure rest. We already have a setting for the *minimum* width (Style / General), this would just add a maximum. Good idea.
