284: How to create multirests for only some groups of rests in a score

First, switch off House Style > Use Multirests (or Layout > Show Multirests in Sibelius 1.4) so every individual measure can be read. Next, select a single measure from the group of measures you do not want displayed as a multirest and switch on the Split Multirest option in the Bars panel of the Properties window (or use Layout > Split Multirest in Sibelius 1.4). The blue check marks will not print--they are only there as a reminder.

If there is an entire string of measures you do not want displayed as a multirest, select each measure individually and choose the same Split Multirest option, one measure at a time.
