I am new to the forum and Dorico, although I am quickly becoming familiar with it due to the hours I’ve spent on the tutorials, website, forums, and recreating scores to practice. I have not been able to figure out beat grouping signaling for players. I understand that if I do [3+2+2]/8, I would still get a 7/8 time signature, but it would be grouped the way I want it. I also understand that the signposts will tell me what the beat grouping is. That’s not my question. I am looking to see if there is a way to add the beat grouping to the top of a measure to show the player or conductor what the beat grouping is. So, instead of using a text box like I had to do in the screenshot, (even that was a headache because I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to input a dotted quarter note), I would like to input the beat grouping already set for me based on the signpost data. I hope this makes sense!
There’s no automatic way to do this. But MusGlyphs would make short work of it.

Just using characters from Bravura Text (right click to open the music text dialog) works as well
I downloaded your font, Dan! Is there a guide to using it?
That’s what I did, but I couldn’t find it.
There should be documentation included with it. It’s meant to be as intuitive as possible: in this case, something like (q.+q.+q)
