That's what it says in the manual and when I tried it out per the instructions, 
that is what happens.  When you use the multimeasure rest feature to say 
indicate a 12 measure rest, it only increments the measure counter by 1.  The 
next measure is really measure 13 in the conductor score.

I will investigate whatever you are trying to suggest that I don't understand 
yet, later.  Thanks.
