Empty bar rests disappeared

[evansf]

Thanks for the tip Marc. Much appreciated.

I tried this, but it has no effect. No (semibreve) rest is entered. Not sure why you’re invoking Shift-B (barline) tool.

I think this may have something to do with the presence of acciaccaturas which might be confusing Dorico.

Lillie might have proposed a solution here:

Empty bar rests not showing

Selecting the first/last notes in that first bar on the lower staff and checking whether the Starts voice / Ends voice properties are activated in the Properties panel might fix the missing rests. In general, you can always input onto staves, bar rests or no, by getting the caret onto them e.g. by double-clicking on the staff or moving the caret from elsewhere.

In my case neither ‘Starts voice’ nor ‘Ends voice’ is switched on, whichever note is selected.

If I delete the acciaccaturas, the bar they are in still stays empty with no empty bar rest showing.

I guess this may be a bug, on the basis that Dorico cannot deal with the paradox that an otherwise ‘empty’ bar can contain an up-beat acciaccatura.
