Hi Laurens,thanks for your reply, but I this is not what I'm looking for:
on the picture you can see a way of letting the musician keep counting while 
reading the cue notes - IMHO a great way of writing cue notes in parts, 
especially for drummers and other guys that are used to counting hundreds of 
bars through long opera nights.

I'm no "schemer", but it can't be too hard:
expand the multi-measure rest and count from 1 to max duration ... but too hard 
for me because I don't know where to start ...

But, yes: sure I can live without it ;-)

Cheers,
Bernhard
