Dotted notes and rests

Hi,

How do I write in notes and rests that are dotted - for example: a dotted half note rest ?

Thanks in advance for your hep…(I DID try figuring out how to do it from a couple of you tuge videos but couldn’t do it)

In general, avoid inputting rests: simply move the caret to where you want the notes to appear, and input the notes there. Dorico will take care of the rests for you. Use the options on the Rests page of Notation Options to tell Dorico how you would like it to handle the grouping of rests by default.
