Johannes,
Thank you. This seems to be working on the parts. I wonder if I'm
messing up score spacing as I am doing this, but maybe not. I'll
keep doing this on some more parts with automatic update mm rests off
and see if everything continues to stick where I put it.
Thanks again.
Chuck

On one staff line in a part, a 31 m. MM rest and a one m. pickup
(with entries) at the end of the line. Finale will make the 31
m. rest and the one m. spread equally on the line, making the
single measure look way too wide. So you drag the bar line and
fix it. Fine, if you print right away, but go to another part
and return to this one, and take a look. The spacing has sprung
back to the default. I u
Have you tried editing the multimeasure rest width with the
Measure Tool (control-click the measure, select Edit Multimeasure
Rest, and change the width)?
I believe this problem would not actually go away by editing the
width, either. The problem lies with the automatic update mm rests
option, which is found in the document options->Multimeasure rests,
which for this very reason should be switched off as soon as work
on the parts starts. I have deactivated this option as a default
after having spent hours trying to work out why the mm rests always
reverted to the defaults after I had edited them.
