Description
Your idea
Whenever there are multi-measure rests, MuseScore 4 should automatically remove measure numbers where there are also multi-measure rests, as opposed to making the user do it manually for dozens of parts.
Problem to be solved
Whenever I am preparing parts with multi-measure rests, they include the measure number in addition to the multi-measure rest. If I leave it as is, it looks sloppy from an engraving point of view. This would allow for cleaner and more effective engraving.
Prior art
In other notation softwares, this is done automatically, so I don't encounter it on other platforms.
