Project-wide engraving options for rests
You can find options for the project-wide appearance of rests on the Rests page in Engraving Options.
The options on the Rests page allow you to change the style, appearance, and precise position of rests, including multi-bar rests during flows and multi-bar rests at the end of flows. For example, the default appearance of multi-bar rests at the end of flows is to show tacet al fine, but you can show the total bar count instead.
There are musical examples for many options to demonstrate how they affect the appearance of your music.
You can open Engraving Options in any of the following ways:
-
Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E in any mode.
-
Choose in Engrave mode.
You can then click Rests in the page list on the left of the dialog.
