RE The replies I received about multi-rests in Parts: thanks, but all of them overlooked my jpg file. As a Sib. user for many years, I know you can select "old style" multi-rests in the Parts menu, but you get only the sequence: whole rest; double whole rest; and double w.r. plus whole rest, etc for 1, 2 and 3 measures rest. What is needed in 4/2 and higher meters is: double whole rest (thin, vertical, 1 space high); thin, vertical, 2 spaces high; & the same plus another double whole rest for 1, 2, & 3 measures rest...and so on up to 5 measures, beyond which the H-bar shape applies. My jpg shows a 3-measure rest in 3/2 and 4/2 meters (not created in Sibelius!). These rest shapes can be copied from the Z-folder (near the bottom) but the narrow rests do not eclipse the wider "modern" whole rest so cannot be directly substituted. If you "hide" the unwanted rest, you lose the essential number above the staff, which then has to be recreated with a text number. I (among others?) prodded Daniel, successfully, to introduce the double whole rest in 4/2 SCORES many years ago, but that was as far as it went, unfortunately.
