Choose Bars of Rest from the Display menu.
You can explicitly consolidate a number of bars of rest, or have QuickScore
Elite automatically find and consolidate the bars of rest for all or part
of your piece. Consolidated bars of rest are displayed with a bars of
rest sign with the number of resting bars above it. Select Set or Calculate
on the left side of the dialog to either consolidate bars of rest explicitly
or have QuickScore Elite do it.
If you choose Set, the two boxes on the top left part of the dialog will
be enabled for input. Choose Compress to compress a number of resting
bars into a single bar with a bars of rest sign. Choose Decompress to
take a single bar with a bars of rest sign and expand it into its component
resting bars. Next, select the bars you want to explicitly compress or
decompress by typing in the bar numbers or setting them with the spin
controls.
If you choose Calculate, the three boxes on the bottom left part of the
dialog will be enabled for input. You can choose the current track or
all your tracks by selecting Track n (where n is the current track number)
or All Tracks. You can choose to affect all bars or a range of bars by
clicking on All bars or From Bar in the lower right part of this section.
If you select From Bar, make sure you set the range of bars you want to
affect by typing in the appropriate bar numbers or by setting them using
the spin controls to the right of the numbers. Choose the minimum number
of empty bars that will be consolidated into a single bar containing a
bars of rest sign by typing in a number or setting it with the spin controls
in the Compress n bars of rest or more section of the dialog. Now every
time QuickScore Elite finds a number of empty bars that is equal to or
greater than the number you set, these empty bars will be consolidated
into a single bar. If a number of empty bars is encountered that is smaller
than this number, they will not be consolidated.
