I have a issue to extending beams over hidden rests, I know how to extend beams but when I hide rests it not working...

… I need hide rests and extend beams. I checked option in document options/beams but it works only for unhidden rests …
Thanks for the info.
Your attached graphic explains the problem well.
The layout is sometimes called Alternating Stems, or Bariolage.
In this particular case I would try another way:
a) Document Options > Beams: “Extend Beams Over Rests” & “Extend Secondary Beams Over Rests”.
b) In Layer 1, break the beam before the last rest in the beam group.
c) In Layer 2, break the beam before the first note in the group.
d) Do not hide the rests.
Instead, use the plug-in Move Rests to move the rests down below the bottom of the page.
In that way the rests will not print, even if they are not hidden, technically speaking.
