Hey Dennis,

Hmm. I'd prefer a solution that works with linked parts. For now, I'm just using Robert's Measure Numbers plugin to number the empty measures when there are more than four of them in a row. The parts still run long that way, but at least they are unambiguous.

(By the way, that "Beginning with Measure [999], [Check] Always Show Last [999]" tip works like a charm when dealing with linked parts.)

Cheers,

- Darcy

1) Would you consider it acceptable to force multimeasure rests in
this situation (provided they always begin on the first measure of
the 4+3 pattern)? Otherwise, I think the parts will be needlessly
long and difficult to follow.

I have done this by showing the pattern as a repeat with a number
bracketed above, rather than a multimeasure rest symbol. I also use this same method for repeated patterns across time changes. Sort of like this
if you display monospaced:

|---------- 6 ----------|
||: 4/4  =  | 3/4  =  :||

This means parts are different from score, as you suggested. (And I used
this same technique in the old pen & ink days, too.)

Dennis
