So, this all depends on your repertory and the audience for your

I agree that the multimeasure rests should make sense with the phrasing
of the surrounding music, not some arbitrary grouping of 5 or 10
measures per rest. When I run into long groups of such I pencil in the
groupings of the rests that make the most sense musically.

At how many measures should one start to convert to multimeasure
rests with numbers? I think Finale's default is 10. That sounds like
a lot. The Essential Dictionary of Music Notation says anything over
1 measure. Ted Ross gives a system with symbols for 2 to 8, and uses
numbers starting at 9.
That's all very well, but if you look at modern (European) editions of Early
music using such long measures you will find that the more authorative ones
all use double whole rests in longer measures than 2/2. As I said, I am not
entirely sure about 3/2, perhaps a single whole rest is correct here (

Actually, you CAN use the default whole rest, since its meaning is

I may be misunderstanding what you are asking about multi-measure rests and numbers -
If it's more than one bar rest I want a number with it.

Make sure the measures are truly empty, select the series of measures in
question with the Measure Tool, then Measure->Multimeasure Rests->Create.
"Create" will be disabled unless the measures are empty (including real
rests instead of default whole measure rests).

I don't think it will do any harm to have it in both places -- less
likely to be overlooked or misread if the performer is keeping attention
on the bottom staff for whatever reason.
