Change default whole rest to eighth rest?


Hey everybody, this is my first time entering a compound meter into Dorico. It seems that by default, Dorico lists an whole rest in the 1/8 section where there should be an eighth rest. I’ve tried something from an old forum where you apparently press comma and then the number of the rest/note value, but nothing happens. The singer would need to see an eighth rest here. Any thoughts on how to do that? Thanks!

You also need Force Duration, O.

Select the whole rest, O, comma, 4.

Ok got it! That for some reason changed the rest to 2 16th rests at first, but then I knew how to combine them back into an eighth. Thank so much!

No doubt Dan meant O, comma, 5, for the eighth rest.

Oops, quite. Brain is taking a weekend off.

Ah yes! I still have Finale numbering on the brain.
