Creating Multiple Rests

You can create multiple rests, that is, display multiple consecutive rests as multi-bar rests.

Prerequisite

Your score contains multiple consecutive rests.

Procedure

  1. Select Scores > Settings.
  2. Open the Layout tab.
  3. Enter a value in the Multi-Bar Rests value field.

    This value defines how many empty bars are allowed before Cubase displays them as a multi-bar rest. If you enter 2, for example, three or more consecutive empty bars are displayed as a multi-bar rest.

  4. Click Apply.

Result

The multi-bar rests are now shown in the score.

Tip

You can also use the options in the Multi-Bar Rests section of the right zone to perform this.
