Hiding whole measure rests from conductor score

Imagine the following musical section.

I want the score to look like this:

and I want the part to look like this

Furthermore, I want the next measure in the part to have measure number 4,
rather than 2.

As Mats says, if you follow the instructions in the manual, you shouldn't have any problems with the bar numbering.

The bug you cite relates specifically to whole notes after a multi-measure rest,

Be careful when entering multi-measure rests followed by whole notes. The following will enter two notes lasting four measures each

R1*4 cis cis

When skipBars is set, the result will look OK, but the bar numbering will be off

where the corrected snippet would be

R1*4 cis1 cis
 

Merely hiding the multimeasure rest symbol from the conductor score will not
show all three empty measures to the conductor unless I am missing
something.

If  skipBars isn't set in the conductor score though, that's exactly what you'll get if you follow Bryan's tip.

Regards,
Neil
