Editing voice notes

Windows 11, Dorico Pro 5.1


I have been trying to resolve a problem moving notes from XML imported voice1 to voice2 but have had difficulty in explaining myself. I decided therefore to post a snipped (above) of what I am getting when I import my clarinet part from an XML file. Everything is voice1 and the notes are all the same size.

This is what I want. The first four bars are a flute cue. I have no score, just the clarinet part. I can manually delete these bars and reinsert them by hand into voice2, however, this produces a mix of quater and eighth note rests in voice1 where a half note rest would have been better. My goal is to be able to create a cue from the existing notes without having to resinsert them.
I hope this clarifies my problem.

Please do not post the same question more than once. Several of us spent time to work up and offer you different solutions already:
