To see what I'm talking about, take a look at the first example image 
in the
"Multi measure rests" section of the user manual.  The 17-measure rest 
is as
I described it above, while the 4-measure rest is displayed 
differently.  I'm
trying to get all of the multi-measure rests to be displayed like the 
17-
measure example (as I said, this seems to be the standard in every 
concert
band piece I've seen).
