Multimeasure rests
I want to know if there is a way to do my multimeasure rests as I go through my note entry, instead of having to wait until the end of all the note entry to do "Format -- Style -- Rests -- " and tick the multimeasure rest box. This method also combines the hundreds of rests that are empty that I will be filling up, and it is annoying to continually have to do all the multimeasure rests to see where the page turn is best for the page I am working on, and then undo all of the multimeasure rests in order to continue doing note entry. Thanks!

No. Do it at the end only, or not at all: multimeasure rests are rather unusual for the full score, but rather common and automatically switched on for parts.

I frequently am doing part transpositions, where I'm not dealing with the score, i.e. viola to violin III. So you are saying the capability just doesn't exist at all? Thanks,

Just don't use multimeasure rests while entering notes.
Tranpositioning has got nothing to do with this.

If they’re transposing to a third violin part, they would naturally be using a full score version.
As to the OP, add a part score for the violin, even though it’s the only instrument, and it should have multimeasure rests. I still recommend editing it without them though, you can format later.

However, if the OP is transposing a single part, they are likely using the full score view. Which does not, by default, use multimeasure rests.

Thanks for all the replies, I realise viola to violin isn't transposition per se, and I am aware that I will have to move the lowest notes up into violin range, that is the whole point of doing a new part. This would have been clearer if I had said I am doing a "single part", so that where it came from wasn't part of the issue. I can try to set it up from the beginning as a part, to see if that gives me the ability to do multimeasure rests as I go, but if it doesn't, then the end result is still that I have to just do it all at the end. Would be nice as a new feature, though . . . . .

You can't use multimeasure rests during note entry. At least not without trouble
