Dear Dorico 6 users,
Does Dorico 6 allow hiding dots attached to notes?
In Dorico 5, it is not possible.
Thanks in advance!
It looks like the dot will hide along with the notehead – as long as you hide all of the noteheads in the chord. If you hide only one notehead, as you have, then both dots remain.
If there’s only one note in the voice, then hiding the note hides the dot.
It seems to work the same way in D5.

Thanks!
As shown in the attached example in the opening post of this thread, I usually hide part of the notes in a chord. That was problematic.
It would be great if Dorico could hide the dots attached to hidden notes, even when only part of a chord is hidden.
@dspreadbury Could this be implemented?
Have you tried putting the note which you want to hide into another voice?

Yes, it works. However, what I want to have is hiding dots even partially selected notes in a chord.
I have come across this issue with very long or unusual duration maxima at the end of Renaissance works where I can’t successfully apply the span barline 1:1 workaround and have to use a dotted maxima to fill the space or worse and sometimes introduce a tie where no ties should have to be used (in Renaissance last notes). Sometimes I can fudge it by hiding final additional rests instead of trying to maintain the correct length of the last note. To be able to hide the dot (not a workaround, e.g., hiding it behind a notehead or shape or whatever) would make my life a lot easier.
