RE: multimeasure rests with proper measure numbering

[Steve Schow]

Thanks for the simple example and see the measure numbering is retained 
correctly this way.  But I still do not understand how I can have the conductor 
score have EMPTY measures when the whole measure is a rest (but not hide the 
rests in measures that have notes).
