Multiple Measure Rest
Browsed thru the manual and didn't see this option. I want to have a single measure with the number 8 for an 8 measure rest, or 4 to indicate a 4 measure rest, etc. For instance, if I did this on the QWERTY keyboard, it would be pipe, dash 8 dash pipe. |-8-| Thank you for your help.

No need to select anything, just press M to toggle whether multimeasure rests are generated or not. See also https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/measure-rests#multi-measure-rest and also https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/layout-and-formatting#style-score
