I had this set up correctly a few weeks ago but when I reopened it the pick-up measure is showing whole rests in most of the parts instead of the quarter rest that should be there and I can’t seem to be able to correct it.
Any advice Dorico Pros?
Thanks.
By default, Dorico should put a quarter rest.
At worst, you could just delete the time sig and re-enter it.
Offtopic and no offense but where does the convention come from respectively what is the motivation to put the french horns between trumpets and trombones in a concert band score?
I’m always confused to read those scores. From the instrument “etymology” perspective french horns are the link between woodwind and brass instruments because they mingle perfectly with both.
Fortunately this never occurs in symphony orchestra scores.
I assume it’s because that’s where they fall in terms of range.
I think asherber has it right. Since Conductor Scores usually group Woodwinds together and then Brasses, The secondary determination of placement is tied to the range of the instrument.
benwiggy,
I will give that a try but it may be somewhat a little more complicated due to the anacrusis. We’ll see.
Thanks so much.

Hmmm. I did that and this is what I got.
Thanks.

I can just select those rests and delete them, and they turn to quarter rests.
Did you add them manually? It looks like they are “explicit” rests, rather than implicit ones, which are just the absence of notes!
benwiggy,
Yeah, I am not sure exactly what I did here but I just copied and pasted one of the measures that was correct into the measures that were incorrect and that solved the problem.
Thanks for all you help on this one, as usual.
