So far, this is the most frustrating mark up with scoring in Dorico compared to Finale. For example, if you have four bars of a rhythm part that is just a repeat pattern, and you open the Bar repeat menu and simply add a one bar repeat, it just superimposes the repeat slash symbol over the existing notation. This should be fixed and behave like Finale handles this which would make a lot more sense.

So what you’re saying is that you want the bar repeat to replace the music that is already there, or at least hide it like a slash region would?
This would be a helpful function.

There have been multiple posts along these lines over the years. The ideal situation would be for Dorico to hide the notes in the parts and just show the bar repeats, yet show the actual notes in the score. Numerous requests for this have been posted.

Yes, that is exactly what I was saying.
Thank you for the quick response!

Just adding my vote here - this seems to make the most sense to me too! Much the same way that slash regions work.
