and get what I want, but I’m curious why the Pedal reformats as in the 2nd example. I don’t expect that to happen with 1+1+1… It must be an error.

You could put in a local time signature for the staves that misbehave? I’m not at the computer atm, but it’s worth a try!

Yes, that works, but I don’t understand by Dorico accept 1/4+1/2 rests e.g. in bar 1. Using Forced Duration is just unnecessary IMO when it’s basic rules and should be handled automatically. I might miss some important setting?
