Change appearance of notes - how to
Hi Everybody.
I'm used to sibelius and in sibelius there are some features, that I have yet to find in musicscore. Maybe they are not there or maybe I just can't find them.
1) How do I "hide empty measures". Lets say i have a break of 8 measure, can I change those to become one measure with the number 8 in them. This way they take up a lot less space in the score.
2) Can I change the appearance of the notes so they look different (se attachment)
Thanks Janus

Awesome. Thanks for the reply
Multi measure rests are toggled by pressing the M key. Of course all of the measures in a system have to be empty for this to work, so it is more commonly expected to be seen in a part.
As far as the note heads are concerned, the inspector has a Head Group and a Head Type setting that will allow you to change the notes heads as in your picture.

Thanks for your feedback mike. Do you know if its possible choose which measures to make into mutimeasure rests? Lets say I have to parts with 8 measures of rests each and I only wanna make one of them into a multirest?

A single measure cannot be made into a multi measure rest, the default for a measure is a measure rest that looks like a whole rest in every time signature. There is a setting for the minimum number of measures to turn into a multi measure rest in Style->General...->Score. It actually give the option turning a single measure into a "multi measure" rest, but I have never seen this in print.
I have put a message in the danish forum as well
Hav en god dag
BTW, normally you would never need to use the multimeasure rest command. MuseScore will enable multimeasure automatically when you generate parts from a score. And of course, multimeasure rests normally only make sense in part, not in the score. So unless you are for some reason not working with a full score but are only entering a single individual part, everything will work automatically. Same in Sibelius, FWIW.
