Hiding/Showing multi-bar rests

You can hide/show multi-bar rests in each layout in your project independently of other layouts. For example, you can hide multi-bar rests in full score layouts but show multi-bar rests in part layouts.

Multi-bar rests group two or more consecutive empty bars together.
