Hi Darren,

If I'm reading you correctly, try
  • right-click on the bar that you want to modify (bar 1)
  • select "Chord Settings..." from the pop-up menu (Alt-F5 is a shortcut for this)
  • in the "Chord Options" box that you will arrive at, under "Rests" set the "Rest Type" to "Hold Chord"

This should hold all instruments (including drums).

If you want the drums to rest for the bar, now right-click on bar 1, select "Bar Settings...". Under "Instrument changes/Volume" choose "Drums" and select "Mute". If you want the drums to return at bar 2, you will need to right-click on bar 2, select "Bar Settings..." and set the volume "Back to Normal".

Hope this helps or, at least, gives you some ideas that might lead to a solution.

Regards,
Noel
