Novice user question. After importing a midi file, Dorico 6 creates some rests that I just don’t understand, and I don’t know how to fix it. Am I wrong to thing this should be one whole rest in the treble? (Just to be clear: this is 4/4). How should I address this?
Many thanks for any help you may offer

Select and delete the triplet.
Is there no way to prevent this happening in the first place? Am I doing something wrong when opening/importing the midi file?
It will be some artifact in the midi file that causes this.
There’re probably events in triplet time at that location in the MIDI data. There may or may not be some Dorico settings to help massage that sort of thing. Importing MIDI is not something I do so I’m not familiar with Dorico’s capabilities there. Here’s the manual page for importing MIDI, which covers how you can influence the process: Importing MIDI • Dorico Pro Help • Reader • Steinberg
I assume Dorico’s default approach is to preserve information, so you end up with things like triplet rests.
You could set the detection of tuplets to off, but chances are the result is some other rest.
after importing MIDI there is always some necessary clean-up (as there is after XML import). A perfect source file is an utopia 
Fortunately in this case it is only a simple select+delete, and in other cases Dorico provides many refined tools to speed up the cleaning process (Requantize, filters, voices (re)assignation, shortcuts to move to staff above/below, useful commands under menu Write>Edit Duration, the basic functionalities of note and rhythm editing, etc.).
Thanks to all of you, you’ve given me at least some useful starting points.
