When you edit a multimeasure rest using the Measure menu, you’ll change the appearance of the selected rest only. (If more than one multimeasure rest is selected, Finale changes only the first rest in the region.)

Note: If you find that you’re using the Edit command frequently to change rests, consider changing the global settings in the Document menu. See To set up the appearance of multimeasure rests.
