You can change the appearance of multi-bar rests that extend to the end of flows in all layouts project-wide. By default, multi-bar rests that extend to the end of flows show “tacet al fine” above the staff instead of the total bar count.
Procedure
- Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
- In the category list, click Rests.
-
In the Multi-bar Rests section, choose one of the following options for Multi-bar rests that extend to the end of the flow in the Appearance subsection:
-
Show tacet al fine
-
Show bar count
-
- Optional: Change the value for Minimum number of bars’ rest at the end of flow to show ‘tacet al fine’.
- Click Apply, then Close.
Result
The appearance of all multi-bar rests at the end of flows is changed project-wide. Changing the value for Minimum number of bars’ rest at the end of flow to show ‘tacet al fine’ changes when “tacet al fine” is shown to only multi-bar rests containing the set number of bars or more.
