All those solutions are possible good options. To answer the direct
question in case you need to know, you have turn on editing (Toggle
Edit) of a layer before you can edit, and this is only available on some
data format (so make sure you import your data to Spatialite, Shapefile
or another editable format, osm files are not directly editable)

Hi!
Instead of editing the lines or attributes with all that work you can do this
in the styling. In the labels tab of the layer properties there are rendering
options. There is a checkbox for merging connected lines to avoid duplicate
labels. Hope this works.

Hi Charlotte,
You can use the "dissolve" tool for merging features that have value(s) in common. In
this case the field "name" contains that value.
Go:
Vector >> Geoprocessing tools >> Dissolve...
Remove the check mark at "Dissolve all (do not use field)"
Add the field "name" to unique ID fields list Run
This worked for me. Only drawback is that all roads without a name were merged
together. If you mind that, you can select and remove them before running the
dissolve algorithm.
Good luck,
Raymond

Can you select the features you want by a function using the same

Hello, all,
I created a query for data from OpenStreetMap using
overpassturbo.eu <http://overpassturbo.eu>. I needed major street,
so used the expression highway=primary. The area was a large section
of Los Angeles, about 1/6th of the city, the area called South Bay.
I got the steeets I need, no problem. But, I also got the
street names repeating over and over, because the streets are broken
into segments by changes, such as a bridge or a change in speed
limit, etc., etc.
I am looking for a way to solve this issue, such as editing
the data to remove the names from some of these segments. I have
opened the data in the "Attributes Table," but I can't seem to edit
it there (which would be handy). So, if QGIS does not support
editing a data file, is there some other way to do it?
Thanks!
