Guitar Pro Experts, please help

[Zack Uidl]

I have a guitar pro 5 related question.

I have just finished a 24 minute song and have also notated the entire thing. However, here is the problem. It is enormous. Literally just over 500 pages! The reason it is so large is there is a ton of empty space due to the fact that every guitar does not play throughout the tune.

Anyway, in Sibelius, there is a feature where you can hide empty measures so the document will be smaller.

Can you do this in guitar pro?

I also would like to know how to take empty measures in a row and turn them into multi-measure rests.

I would have just used Sibelius, but for guitar notation, Guitar Pro is much faster and easier for me and the other guitarist also just has GP5.

If you have an ideas, let me know please.

Thank you

Have you tried Tools, Complete/Reduce Bars with Rests?

yeah, that didn't do what i need. i will try it on a smaller score though since this one is so large

thanks for the reply though dude

I don't think you can do either in guitar pro... unless you simply cut all the empty measures in the guitar parts, but then again those measures (with other instruments) will be lost from the score.
