11/16 signature not working correctly

Hey guys, I find that when I try to write any signature greater than 10/16 (11/16, 12/16, etc…), Dorico only provides me with 10 units of 16th notes. I can work around this by doing 6/16 + 5/16, but I’m curious why I can’t just use 11/16 like I want.

Anyone have an answer for this?

Works fine here:

You’re it’s not a pickup bar; and you haven’t manually added a barline in the wrong place?

Do you have signposts for time signatures showing? You’ll get a red signpost if the bar is non-standard.

It looks as though there’s another time signature at the start of the next bar.

Dorico won’t automatically move existing time signatures that follow, unless you turn on Insert mode first.

Try reinputting the time signature with Insert mode turned on (hit I).
