Beaming across rests?

I personally think such demands (including constantly changing octaves and dynamic levels) are, to use a euphemism, “too much”. I pity the poor pianist who has to learn this. There are enough difficult works in the repertoire without going this far, with consequent diminishing returns. How many pay money to sit in an audience and listen to this style of music?

Other threads (e. g. https://forums.steinberg.net/t/dynamics-that-dorico-does-not-have/717438/2) demonstrate that people are paid to put such extreme pieces into Dorico.

But that said, I have nothing against the notational possibility. I mean, if people want to devote their life to composing, playing or listening to it, that is their choice Most of us have other problems to occupy us! :wink:
