Nope, that's not what I'm doing. I'm merely changing the attributes of the barlines with rehearsal numbers to break multimeasure rests. Then I go to File > Extract Parts, choose the parts I want extracted, and multimeasure rests are not created. Not one.

I thought that extracting parts was supposed to automatically create multimeasure rests... it always did for me on FinWin. However, even when I go in and try to manually create the multimeasure rests (selecting the entire range) it will not happen. They remain broken, and the only available option in Measure > Multimeasure Rests is still "Create." It's as if Finale never even acknowledged that I tried to create them.
If it helps anybody, this was once an Encore file, and it was converted to Finale before it was given to me.
Ah ha! Are you sure the measures are blank, and that they do not contain actual entered whole rests? You can doublecheck by selecting the supposedly empty meaures and hitting Clear (on a Mac, i'm not sure on a PC, maybe Delete, whatever clears all the entries without deleting the measures).
