Cue-ledger lines

[k.k]

The ledger lines in the highlighted passage are too thick. How can I fix this?

Hi @k.k, this is a known issue (and there is still no official cure for it, FWIK).

See this thread:

Ledger Line Scaling?

When cues and cue-size notes on ledger lines coincide with certain rests and notes in other voices, the ledger lines seem to scale inconsistently. Is there a way to prevent this? [Ledger Line Scaling] Ledger Line Scaling.dorico (1.7 MB)

It happens with certain rest values (here the half note rest value).

• If you shrink the rest size to 70% (between 70% and 75%) the ledger line will scale correctly. (But of course you don’t want a small rest… so we need to wait for an official correction of this behaviour):
  Ex. 1
  

• Also if you change the value of the rest, the ledgers lines will scale correctly (also not a desirable method, of course):
  Ex. 2

@k.k
Add-on:
a possible workaround would be to set the rest at 70%, then with system text, insert a half note rest Music Text symbol, scale it accordingly (26 points in my example below), deactivate avoid collision, and put it to cover the original rest. (Then propagate those properties for the rest and the text to have it display correctly in the part as well):

Thanks.
